In the past, if you made a legal trade in June, the salary on the books simply carried over to the new season. So, if Dallas took on salary in a June trade that put them over the tax or apron the next season (but not 23/24)...not a big deal. But, from what you are writing (and my vague recollection), it doesn't appear we can take on extra salary in a deal in 23/24 that puts us over the first apron in 24/25. Thanks in advance.
Heres where i work from now. The new rules are designed to force the same restrictions on a team for the upcoming season, for any transaction after a season is over, with no distinction as to whether they were done in June or July.
I am afk and notes right now, so that generality is all I have. But the only real working way is to look at where the team ends up in July as a result, in relation to the aprons, then work backwards from there.
In your example, adding 2.xm via a THJ trade increases the bottom line by that amount, and puts them over the Apron with their existing commitments. There would be nasty ramifications, I suspect because the +salary trade creates a hard cap that would last to 6/30/25, and now the totals don't work. In fact, the NBA could very likely just reject it.
