Okay- Pistons offered Ben wallace 12 million/year for 4 years. He goes elsewhere- so the Pistons have 12 million in cap space to go get new guys, right? Wrong. they had 5 million only. what happened there?

Larry Bird exception. You can offer your own player, to retain him, a certain percent over the cap space (30% increases per year, maybe?). So they could offer Wallace more than a free agent.
