I dunno how it works as far as being able to add when you're already over the cap in the NBA but this article gives a good breakdown of the Raptors situation:

If Kawhi stays they'd be 35 mil over the NBA's soft salary cap and 8 mil over the luxury tax threshold. Seems that to take a run at Butler as well they would need to move a couple big tickets out like Ibaka and Powell, creating a hole in the front court.
I think if he stays with Lowry, Gasol and Ibaka's deals all up next summer opening up about 85 million they're more likely to try again with the current roster and add next summer.
I've been wondering about Jamal Murray and if they might see if he wants to come home and chase him eventually. His rookie scale contract is up after this coming season and if he wants to leave the Nuggets will probably have to trade him as he'll be able to walk the following summer.
