If you're over the cap, the salaries have to be within the confines of the collective bargaining agreement.
If you're under the cap, you can take on as much salary as you want up to the point where you're at the cap.
Thus, if a team was $5 million under the cap, they could trade a player with a $5 million contract for a player with a $10 million contract.
