"teams will have to be under the cap on August 4 but the new CBA provides a $3.5 million cap credit this season plus the ability to borrow $3 million from future salary caps this year and $1.5 next year. That's significant because caps are projected to increase with revenue over the next several years, enabling teams to repay the 'cap loan'"

Interesting stuff...note - he says "caps" - plural, a mill here a mill there could wash away pretty quickly with the rise each year in this new arrangement.
Nice stuff, I should have figured my old friend aj would have the answer.
