Successful Scenario
Due to Dallas and Phoenix being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Dallas and Phoenix had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

So would everyone else with half a brain.
