Team $15M under the cap trades for $25M player
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:53 pm
My team is $15M under the cap and wants to acquire a $25M player in a trade. Clearly, my team will need to include a player for salary matching purposes. What is the minimum outgoing salary my team needs to include in this trade?
CBA faq says the incoming player salary must be within 125% of my team's outgoing player salary. I'm not sure how to make the salary matching calculations when the trade will push my team over the salary cap.

- Is it 125% of outgoing player salary + 125% cap space used? If so, then the minimum outgoing player salary would be $5M.
- Is it 125% of outgoing player salary + 100% cap space used? If so, then the minimum outgoing player salary would be $8M.
