The NBA has a cap spike that they wanted the PA to flatten back in 16 and they said no.

It ended up having teams spend 64 million on guys like Timofey Mozgov.

Also allowed the Warriors to set up cap space to get Kevin Durant.

Not sure massive spikes in 1 season are worth it, because you get stuck with some bad deals and the cap won't always rise like that.
