TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[DanSchwartzgan]

Are you sure this is a June limitation on Indy?

If you are thinking they are in peril of triggering tax, AFAIK the general rule is that tax is calculated based on season's end in April with some minor alterations later. (You might have some bonuses earned from the post-season results. And trade bonuses on June trades would be added to the calculation, but not seeing any mention that MT has one).

Or are they operating with a hard cap? From what I am reading, the Pacers aren't hard capped, but that could be wrong. However, they are a good ways from that limit.

Certain deals would hard-cap them.  I was playing around with some things on the trade checker where Hardaway and Powell were outgoing and those were illegal because Indy spent more than the Taxpayer MLE on the combination of Craig, Taylor and Washington and the deal I was trying took them over the apron.  Indy has a sizable TPE that I was trying to use to offload extra salary.

However, I took the fact they could be blocked by hard cap in June to also mean that tax would be triggered by an over the tax trade in June.  So, thanks for the correction.
