After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade Julius Randle since he has a player option next year which is worth $29.4M.

Timberwolves are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($12.8M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are an over second apron team, they are not able to aggregate players in a trade. This means for example, that they cannot send out two players to acquire one with a similar salary to both.

Consecutive draft years 2026 & 2027 would be missing a 1st round pick.

Recently traded player salary ($7.1M) is combined with another outgoing salary to match incoming player salary ($50.2M). D'Angelo Russell cannot be traded to a team aggregated with other players from his team because 2 months have not passed since he was traded for. His outgoing salary cannot be combined with another one of his teammates to bring in a higher salaried player. This restriction expires after Feb 28, 2025.

After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade D'Angelo Russell since his contract is ending.

After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade De'Anthony Melton since his contract is ending.

This trade would result in the Nets crossing the tax apron of ($178.1M) while hardcapped at the 1st apron. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $2.1M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Acquired Shake Milton from the Knicks via sign-and-trade.

Nets are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over apron team after this trade, they are only able to take back 100% of the salary they are sending out, plus $0.

Nets can only take back $42.4M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $7.7M from the Nets incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Nets.
