Trade & FA 2024-25:

[DL2RimRocker]

Forget my comment about the uselessness of including minimum salary players.

The point is that Maxi-Morris is not a legal trade for DFS. More incoming salary than outgoing pushes them over the hard cap at Apron 1, which is not allowed. Also, Mavs are committed to Morris as 15th man, so another dead end. 

MY SIDE POINT WAS ....The hard cap makes the Mavs send as much or more outgoing (they are right near that number), and there's a salary diff of 4M between Maxi and DFS. But for hard cap purposes,  you cant make up any of that 4M difference by simply adding minimum outgoing salaries, since you have to come back after the trade and refill those empty slots with a player (who of course makes at least the minimum that you sent away!). That hard cap changes and complicates the trade possibilities, and it's not flexible.

Ok...thanks for clearing that up!
If Im understanding this correctly, that means we can't trade for DFS because we don't have matching one-to-one salaries?
