Since cap hit is prorated through the season, it comes to much the same thing. A team only has to have been operating about $400,000 under the cap for the whole season to take on a $2 million cap hit at the deadline. The opportunity cost is therefore much less than taking on the $2 million for the whole year. If a team is selling at the deadline anyway, it isn't going to need that accrued cap space for any other purpose.
