Except it's not dependent on what the Nets want to offer, it's dependent on the market, which will not be set until free agency opens. The idea of him signing on the dot on the 11th is cute and all, but there is no guarantee that he won't wait to see how things pan out like Nene did. And if he does do that, then his caphold is an onerous one.
Lets say Dwight Howard doesnt happen...but Deron does re-sign and then Wallace takes his sweet time? Wouldnt shock me at all if King had to renounce Wallace's rights in order to go after someone else. Of course I think King feels pressure to re-sign Wallace to pretend to the world that his trade was justified...but at some point even his hand could be forced.
Great point btw about the cap hold from a player we had the cash to pursue anyway.
