Receiving a free agent in a sign-and-trade transaction.We’ll get into the different issue is what is called the Hard Cap. Receiving Free Agents in Sign-and-Trade Difficulties
Let’s look at a fake Brunson for Gobert trade. The issue of Brunson’s 50% outgoing salary CAN be overcome if you make the trade big enough. Since the math from every team’s perspective has to balance, Brunson’s BYC issues will require a bit of trade gymnastics to complete a trade like I just demonstrated. This is an example of what that would look like. So the easiest way to make it work is to include a third team to absorb (using cap space or a Traded Player Exception) a small contract from the team receiving Brunson. So BYC means trading Brunson in a simple direct trade wouldn’t work for one of the teams. The trade rules allow a non-tax team to receive Brunson’s hypnotical $20 million salary if they send out at least $15 million. Them receiving a sign-and-traded player means they’ll most likely be a non-tax team. The team receiving Brunson at $20 million counts his actual salary in their trade math. As a taxpaying team that means the Mavs could only receive back $12.6 million ($10 million times 1.25 + $100,000). That means the trade math for Dallas is that he counts for only $10 million outgoing. Let’s imagine he signs for $20 million in the first year. The BYC problem means that on the Mavericks-side trading Brunson will only equal 50% of the first year salary in his new contract. So you have to check if the trade works from the perspective of each team involved in the trade. This is very important and difficult to understand, but trades are organized SEPARETLY from each teams perspective.
If a player signs a contract with more than a 20% raise using bird rights then his OUTGOING salary in a sign-and-trade will only count the higher of (a) his previous year salary or (b) 50% of the first year of his new contract. This roadblock relates to a confusing part of the CBA trade rules. There is a Base Year Compensation (BYC) problem because Brunson is ending a contract that paid him very little compared to the contract he’s about to sign. 1.) Can the Mavericks trade Jalen Brunson in a Sign-and-Trade away this offseason? I’d rather just inform you of the rules that set-up the legal guardrails for all these sign-and-trade Brunson conversations. I’m 100% sure you will be able to find that lively conversation in the comments of this very post. I’m actually NOT trying to convince you one way or the other. And with the addition of the Spencer Dinwiddie the conversation about Brunson has gotten louder.
Jalen Brunson is a player that has his fair share of “keep at all costs” fans and a vocal group of “he isn’t the best big money fit next to Luka so sign-and-trade him” non-fans. So for my own sanity I will now just link this column when people ask. Mo Bamba is ‘likely’ to leave Orlando in free agency, per idea of incorporating Smith or Holmgren into Orlando’s rebuild has sparked an expectation among league personnel that Bamba, a restricted free agent this summer, is likely to depart the franchise.” /1wWb0cEIXk- NBACentral May 20, 2022
