If Hamilton signs for less than $7.3M we overpaid. If he signs for more than $7.3M then we underpaid, but Hamilton might be overpaid. I'm guessing he comes in under, which means Boston won the trade - even if they would've lost had we made a similar offer sheet instead.

Not really... It's more like, If you can't sign him for less than 7.3, you overpaid for the privilege of not going through the offer sheet process.
