Missed Opportunities This Summer

Teams are starting to throw away talent for next to nothing just to free up money. We have that Harpring exception and other potential assets and hopefully we can get in on one of these deals. They may not all be stars, but they are better than some of the players on our roster now.

Here is the latest example that just went down. The Nets gave up Chris Douglas-Roberts for a 2nd round pick. This is a young wing that can get 10 points a game now and is cheap for essentially nothing.

There is very little risk in the Jazz doing a deal like this.
 
True, but why would they want the likes of Cancer Douglas-Roberts? I'm hoping they'll swoop in on Golden State's ownership uncertainty.
 
Can somebody explain to me how Trade Exceptions work? I know i'm the Comissioner, but honestly the last CBA was the doing of the Lakers ownership.

And hopefully we can dump AK for cap space.
 
" Here is an example of a non-simultaneous trade: a team trades away a $2 million player for a $1 million player. Sometime in the next year, they trade a draft pick (with zero trade value itself) for a $1.1 million player to complete the earlier trade. They ended up acquiring $2.1 million in salary for their $2 million player -- they just didn't do it all at once, or even necessarily with the same trading partner.

In the above example, after the initial trade of the $2 million player for the $1 million player, it was like the team had a "credit" for one year, with which they could acquire up to $1.1 million in salaries without having to send out salaries to match. This credit is often referred to as a Traded Player exception or a trade exception, but be aware that the CBA uses the name "Traded Player exception" to refer to the entire exception which allows teams to make trades above the salary cap (including simultaneous trades, non-simultaneous trades, and base year compensation).

There are some common misconceptions about non-simultaneous trades. For one, teams cannot use a Traded Player exception to sign free agents; it can be used only to acquire existing contracts from other teams. For another, teams cannot combine a Traded Player exception with other exceptions (such as the Mid-Level exception or the 125% plus $100,000 margin from another trade) in order to trade for a more expensive player. For example, a team with a $1 million Traded Player exception cannot combine it with their $2 million player to trade for a $3 million player (see question number 74 for more information on combining exceptions).

And so that exception we got from the Harpring trade expires July 1st?
 
So why is it titled MISSED opportunities THIS summer when it just started? Or is the Douglas-Roberts trade the one we missed to get us over the hump?
 
You can't combined a player and a trade exception together? I guess I don't understand the concept of the trade exception, or the advantage of it???? How can you trade a 2 millions player for 1.1 million player unless your under the salary cap with a trade exception?
