You get enough teams complaining that the buyout market isn't fair, it's bound to change. This year's luxury tax apron would be at $167.8M. Right now, only 6 teams (LAC, GSW, MIL, BOS, PHX, and DAL) are currently above that figure. Only LA Clippers (Russell Westbrook), Phoenix (Terrence Ross), and Dallas (Justin Holiday) signed players who were bought out at the deadline. I mean, I get what the NBA is trying to do which is to create a hard cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You can't end up above the second treshold post-trade. Think of it like the hard cap when teams use the non-taxpayer MLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWood21 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 6 minutes ago, NYRaider said: I thought teams had to match salary for a trade to work? To an extent, yes. It's 125% plus 100k over what they're sending out is the maximum they can send back. So if you're sending out $10M in salary, you can receive back $12.6M. Under the new rule, you can't take back more than $10M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
