We did spend it.

Cap space is not the same as cash spent.

In other words, we've handed out a lot of front-loaded contracts, big bonuses, etc.

They get applied to the cap pro-rated over the life of the contract but they go on the books as cash spent.

If we give Cassel a $20M signing bonus on a 5-year deal, that entire $20M figures into the cash spent against cap mandate in the new CBA, aka it's part of the $119M.

However, it only counts $4M against the 2013 cap.
