you can't look at cash spent and somehow equate it to the salary cap
that might be the most worthless thing ive seen on pft in awhile

Its kinda important. Since its actually the money going out the door. Shows actual commitment and not phony inflated contract numbers.

Is it possible that some of that was last minute adjustments to contracts to use up the current year's cap money and save some of future years'? I know teams like to do that.

well, the contracts of adams and linsley were both done before the start of the new league year, so their signing bonuses would have counted under the money spent for the current year
so adams got a 18 million dollar signing bonus and linsley got 8 million
so theres 26 million in cash spent right there

yeah, but i don't get the point of comparing cash spent to the cap number like PFT is trying to do

I'm with red. Cash spending on any given year is not capped, so why compare it to the salary cap? The salary cap is an administrative cap and it's ambivalent toward when the money actually changes hands.

Its important for two reasons, though only one have to do with comparisons to the cap:
1. The CBA specifies certain percentage of cap has to actually be spent in cash each year.
2. Cap numbers can disappear (they can also linger as dead money). Cash spent is paying for the team you have, not the contracts you constructed.
I think PFT leaves out a few personnel maneuvers that affect cash vs. cap beyond pro-rated bonuses.

thats because cash spent has nothing to do with cap space

That's what I was talking about. That would seem to make it a matter of capology - doing the smart thing last year so we have more cap space available this year and future years.
