Cap space is very valuable. Using it now on a waiver claim, or anyone that chews that space up right now doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
As has been mentioned, the existing cap space is much more valuable closer to the deadline. The team is 5-1. We have no idea what injuries will occur or what the biggest hole will be before the playoffs. Keep that cash for much later on in the season, not need to spend it during the first month of the season while the team is playing great. Who knows what will happen in the future.
