I think these days bidding wars are somewhat over hyped. Just going by memory, it seems that teams are more likely to intelligently walk away from the asking price rather than overpay. I remember often reading quotes from GMs stating that they had discussions, but the prices were just too high.
Especially with these 4 teams, they are already pretty damn good, so they can sleep soundly knowing that they didn't overpay for a rental. Teams build in the summer.
July 1st is always silly season. The trade deadline is less so.
