we could still keep Lopez and pay some luxury tax $ correct? Lopez at $5mil just seems like a good bargain for a serviceable C.

no. we are limited by teh actual cap. once we get there, then we can sign players on exception deals

It's pretty much mathematically impossible to go from under the cap into the tax in one offseason. Once you're under the cap you don't have access to most of your cap exceptions, so you have to make actual cap space for moves. The Knicks traded for Bargnani yesterday and the league office rejected the trade because it violated the cap rules. Demps manages the cap pretty well so I think there's zero chance this happens, but if he offers Tyreke too much money for instance, his signing could be rejected. Or if some trade kicker from Holiday's contract added more to our cap than expected Demps might be forced to dump more guys to make room for the deal he gave Evans. Again, not likely to happen, just illustrating that the cap rules must be abided by.
