To me, the interesting thing to observe isn't the price, it's whether or not they're willing to extend anyone besides Luka this summer. In other words, have they started to truly transition to being an over-the-cap team, or are they leaving the door open to stay near it next summer by letting DFS go and just sliding Bullock into his spot?
I think that might tell us a lot about how much they truly believe in KP, and it might have implications on how the lockerrom works in the short term. To stick with this, specific example, DFS isn't stupid. They sign Bullock to a longer deal, and then refuse him an extension? That's alarm bells, imo. He's a great person (seems like it anyway) so I'm not suggesting he'd cause problems or give less than 100% (consciously) but there is an "I am a part of something" aspect to all of this that could possibly be upset, imo.
