Sure, they wouldn't be banking while Smid was on the LTIR, but you still want the most cap available. And, if there was a reason for them to drop below 70M, some trade for example, they would start banking again while still having the option to get back to 73.4M.

There's no reason to use LTIR if you aren't exceeding or expecting to exceed the cap. If you are using LTIR, you want to be as close to the cap as possible when you put a player on it.


I believe they were able to bank the space throughout the year... like I think in your example their new cap was 73.4, and they were able to utilize as they saw fit by making the transaction the way they did.
