I see your point, it's wrong though. The Hawks tried against their own advantage (with hindsight mind you!) to restock with free agents. You chalk that up to wanting to get to the cap floor but that wasn't what anyone said when those free agents were signed. That would honestly be the first time anyone has chalked up those free agent signings as cap floor moves. You'd be the only one who thinks that.
