No, but you can be over the cap during the offseason. No?
And then, if you don't have it back below the cap to start the season, the CBA used to read that the team can not play.
EDIT: From the CBA
Quote:
Article 50.5(c) Accounting Practices for Lower and Upper Limit.
(ii) Upper Limit
(B) Nevertheless, in order to ensure that Clubs may have sufficient
time and flexibility to plan their rosters during the off-season, the
Upper Limit shall be temporarily raised by ten (10) percent to
permit Clubs additional flexibility with their Averaged Club
Salaries during the period from July 1 until and including the last
day of Training Camp. On the day following the last day of
Training Camp, the Upper Limit shall again be lowered to the level
as calculated in Section 50.5(b), and all Clubs must once again be
in compliance with the Upper Limit from the day following the last
day of Training Camp until and including June 30.
