Successful Scenario
Due to L.A. Clippers, New Jersey, and Minnesota being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. L.A. Clippers, New Jersey, and Minnesota 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.
Who gets the best of this, and who gets shafted? ?
