Question about trades

KeepJuaquin · Apr 1, 2003

For example:
You are Team A. And you have a John Doe who makes $1.00 per year. And he signed a 5 year contract for $5.00.
Then another team is Team B. They have two crappy players who make a combined $28.00 per year.
And you trade John Doe to Team B for the two crappy players.
Now does Team A pay the traded John Doe? Or do they pay the remainder of the two crappy players?

The contracts are swapped. Team B now only pays for that 1.00 player.

However, with the salary cap, very rarely are trades more than 15% financially off from each other.

The exceptions being the following:

1) When both teams are substantially under the cap (not very likely as stated).

or

2) When the receiving team (team A in the example) is enough under the salary cap to absorb the contract differences without going over the cap.

Reason #2 is one reason so many BBS trades with the Clipps are proposed...they're always under the cap!
