Was his signing bonus spread into this year?

Correct, it was technically a 4 year deal that voided to 3. So the $5M signing bonus was prorated $1.25M per season, with $1.25M of it scheduled to hit in the 4th year.

When the 4th year voided that $1.25M went to deadcap.

is it possible to extend that idea past 1 year? could you, in theory, sign a player to a 7 year deal that automatically voids after 4 years and spread the bonus over 7 years?

I honestly don't know. There may be a CBA rule that forbids it, no clue. I've never heard of that being done, but that's not to say it's not permitted.

they probably would have exploited it by now.

if it was a legit loophole, i'd sign kc to something like a $130m/800,000,000 year contract which automatically voids after 6 or 7 years, something like $1m in base salary, the rest in signing bonus spread over 800,000,000 years.
