This is old but it still applies, we just have to send GS a trade exception for the amount of Bogut's contract. NY sent us a trade exception for Tyson and it's happened numerous other times.
When Golden State traded Jason Richardson to Charlotte on Draft Day last season, the Warriors received a $10 million trade exemption from making the deal. What does that mean and how does a team get a trade exemption?
Speiser: This is an example of creating a trade exception in a “non-simultaneous” transaction, as described above. When that occurs, you have up to one year from the original trade to utilize the exception.
SIXERS.COM NOTE: In the Golden State/Charlotte scenario… the Bobcats had the requisite cap space to absorb Jason Richardson’s contract without trading back equal salary to the Warriors; Golden State therefore received a trade exception for the disparity in salary from the trade
