How much help does Embiid need?

[Colbinii]

Who could Philly be targeting here? I'm saying Luka Garza as they need additional center depth with Embiid's injury history, but this could be

Don't they have Reed?

I was thirsty for a trade. This didn't satisfy...

Philly paid $2M per Shams

Philly had 3.6m left to spend; interesting to see if they then spend the remaining 1.6m... which should get what, pick 57?

More likely is used to move up.

#50, #53 and 1.6m cash for #38.

Chicago gets 2 picks and some $$; Philly consolidates?

The 2 million doesn't affect Pels salary spend, does it? It just goes into Gayle's purse, yeah?

So why do Philly have a 3.6mil budget to spend when salary spends aren't affected?

The league sets a cap every year on how much cash you can send or receive in trades. Otherwise rich teams would just buy up talent from poorer teams. It's a competitive balance issue.

Reed is a wing

A wing who cant pass or shoot?

98. Can cash be included as part of a trade package?

Players can be traded for cash, and cash can be included in trade packages. The amount of cash a team can pay or receive per season is limited to the "Maximum Annual Cash Limit," which is $5.1 million in 2017-18, with the amount in each subsequent season determined by applying the percentage change in the salary cap to the previous amount. For example, if the salary cap increases by 4% from 2017-18 to 2018-19, then the Maximum Annual Cash Limit will increase by 4% from 2017-18 to 2018-19.

Season.......Amount
2017-18....$5.100 million
2018-19....$5.243 million
2019-20....$5.617 million

There are two separate limits, one for the cash a team pays as part of trades each season, and the other for the cash a team receives as part of trades each season. For example, in 2017-18 a team may pay up to an aggregate $5.1 million in all trades it makes during the season, and it may receive up to an aggregate $5.1 million in all trades it makes during the season.

The cash applies to the current season's limit even if it changes hands in a future season. For example, suppose a team trades a draft pick that is top-20 protected this season, top-10 protected next season, and converts to $1 million cash if a pick is not conveyed by next season. $1 million is applied to the team's Maximum Annual Cash Limit for the current season.

Cash is NOT considered when matching salaries under the Traded Player exception. For example, a taxpaying team cannot add $3 million cash to a trade of their $5 million player in order to acquire a $10 million player.

In a sign-and-trade arrangement, if the contract contains a signing bonus, then any amount of this bonus paid by the signing team counts toward the team's Maximum Annual Cash Limit (see question number 92).
