The trade match wouldn't work, as Kuminga would only count 15M in outgoing salary ("base year" is the old term used).

But it's a bigger issue than that. There is NO scenario in which you could have all 4 of Curry, Butler, DG, and LBJ on GS roster because of the total salary violating hard cap rules. It's literally impossible to do.

OK, first part does make it basically impossible. However, I don't understand which rule would be broken in the second sentence? GSW is not hard capped at the second apron, if I am not mistaken.

Edit: sorry, they would be. They can't aggregate salaries in a trade, they would need to be under the second apron to make it possible. In that case, including one of Butler, Curry or Draymond is the only possible way.
