How do you feel about the limitation of deferred compensation when it comes to signing free agents? Can you see how it could help get Billups here?

Well, I can't speak for Dalm, but I don't see how it would help here. Deferred compensation is applied to the cap in the year it is earned, not in the year it is paid. So you can give a guy a one year contract for 100 million dollars, and defer all but one dollor of it for 100 hundred years, and that 100 million will stil count towards the cap that season.
So even with deferred compensation, we STILL can't give Billups more than the MLE in free agency.
