Hard Cap Reasons

Used a portion of their mid-level exception to sign Dario Saric.

Nuggets are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($36.6M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are now an over second apron team after this trade, 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.

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

Nuggets can only take back $160.1M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $6.3M from the Nuggets incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Nuggets.
