Trade & FA 2024-25:

I’m confused by how this is legal? Weren’t there apron restrictions? Is it because they signed and traded the scrub? Weren’t they a second apron team after Bridges? Doesn’t that mean you can aggregate salary/players? Is F Gump in the house?

They had the rights of all the dudes they signed and traded. They found a loop hole that has allowed them to give them contracts just $1 above the minimum (thus circumventing the aggregation minimum salary rules) and were able to get enough money to make it legal.

MIN couldn't aggregate anybody AND they can't take back any more salary than they are sending out. Thus why they only traded KAT and nothing else.

Charlotte was basically the garbage dump, where they ate 3 minimum salaries and got 2nds in return for it.
