Continuing to pay a guy who can no longer produce at a high level $20M/year might not blow the cap in and of itself, but it'll go a long way towards that. It's certainly mismanaging the cap b/c we'll have to let better players walk in order to keep him.
Not saying this is definitely the case with Leonard. As most of us have said, give him at least the rest of the season to prove he can get back to the player he used to be. But if Leonard doesn't get much better than what he's shown so far this year then it's probably best to let him go and put the cap savings towards other guys who are more productive.
