To clarify a bit: it's the actual total cash paid out and not the cap hit. The biggest difference being the full amount of any bonuses go towards the minimum spend on the year the bonus is paid out instead of being averaged out over the life of a contract.
For example: After the season we sign AC to a 4 yr $40M extension that includes a $20M signing bonus and $5M/year salary. $25M would go towards the minimum spend threshold in '20 whereas his cap hit for '20 would be $10M.
At any rate Ballard has a lot of spending to do in the next year and a half.
