Trade & FA 2024-25:

[SkenfromLMF]

Just to see if understand it correctly: 

- you have $3,701,258 Apron1 room, but also using a $1M apron cushion. I assume the later is safety measure for roster legality, but it could be reduced if transactions are settled or you are 100% sure that all numbers add up correctly as a team, right?

- As we are hard-capped at apron 1, no exceptions can be used to bypass this number (no Bird rights, TPE, BAE, remaining MLE, Minimum Excpetion etc.)

- Minimum salary is between $1,157,153 (0 years experience) and $3,303,771 (10+ years). So could fit 2 minimum salaries into spot 14 and 15, but only guys with limited experience. A 5 year guy ($2,425,403) and a rookie would fit. A 10+ year veteran and a rookie would fit, but reduce the apron cushion significantly (to ~$250k). 2x 5+ year guys would not fit at all.

Minimum salaries are all calculated at the 2 yr veteran slot for Apron purposes (EXCEPT DRAFT PICKS). So Advija (2nd rd pick) would count at his actual salary if he were signed, but any FA will basically count 2.1 million for a minimum salary slot.
