Paying max money to a good, but not great player seems like a sure-fire way to descend into cap hell.
Seems like teams are being a little more cautious financially than they were prior to the latest cap rules.
Siakam is basically a player that fits on almost every roster. There will be some teams looking for a step forward and a possibility for max cap space. Indy and Orlando to name two of them. Philly will have max cap space available. Several other teams with max cap space and all SnT options possibilities.
I don't think teams have become way more hesitant after new CBA. All contenders are above second apron and several big deals for far lesser players were signed last summer. Brooks, KP, FVV to name a few. As I outlined in the post you quoted, big threes of three main contenders cost on average basically same as Siakam max deal.
