Malcolm Brogdon cannot be traded this year since he signed an extension after September 28 (Training Camp).

This trade would result in the Cavaliers crossing the tax apron of ($143.0M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $9.8M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Acquired Lauri Markkanen from the Bulls via sign-and-trade.

Cavaliers are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now a taxpaying team after this trade, they are only able to take back 125% of the salary they are sending out, plus $100,000.

Cavaliers can only take back $2.8M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $18.8M from the Cavaliers incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Cavaliers.
