(Per the summarized notes I was given access to, which were written by NBA)
This means, every team will aggresively try to fill their cap in the summer. It can have two consequences - some FA might be overpaid as teams will be looking to fill their cap space. We could especially see some high short term deals. The other thing could be that prices for dumping players will drop, since teams will be more incentivized to take salary.
