2023 ATL 1st
2023 ALA 1st
2023 ATL 2nd
2023 NEW 2nd
PG/SG Kendrick Nunn ($600 K 2021)

Yeah I know, not the best offer but I need to get out of these contracts. I know I did receive other offers but this week was pretty hectic for me so couldn't get back. My team sucks and probably will suck for the next 2 years and guess what? I don't have any of my picks either. Good dealings

[Atlanta]

Atlanta accepts

I was never good at keeping first round picks. Shocked I had them left. Rusty is a great player and will add to my many point guards. Good dealings

This trade cannot be processed. No trades can be made by a team over the cap unless the trade gets them under. This trade still leaves Arlen $4.95M over the cap. If both teams still want to complete this trade, Arlen needs to get under the cap by sending less money to ATL or making another move that will get him under the cap first.

Please refer to the Salary Cap section  of the constitution for more information.

Also, Arlen, in the future, please put the Salary Cap before, Salary cap after and roster count for both teams. Thanks!

Brisbane,

That's not the full inspiration of the rule. This trade works at getting him under the cap and if we require it from one trade it may never happen. Now him aquireing Kendrick can't happen. You can't aquire any players no matter how small a contract until you are under the cap.

If the same trade can happen with Nunn going to Arlen then I will allow it.

Then Arlen you still have anotehr trade to work to get under. You probably should have done a bit more work on Amensty Waivers when you pciked up the team, but sorry you inherited such dog shit of a cap space situation.

Sorry if I overstepped my bounds. I just saw that, yes he's shedding 18.3M of salary, but he's also giving 17.3M as well so what's the point? And then to take back salary on top of that, i figured this was a scenario that went against the spirit of the rule.

[TrailDucker]

Ohhhhh, you're right. I had that in the other direction in my mind. Yeah you can't send cap if it puts you or keeps you over the cap.
