After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade Emoni Bates since his contract is ending.

This trade would result in the Cavaliers crossing the tax apron of ($172.3M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $14.4M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Used their bi-annual exception to sign Ty Jerome ($2,439,025).. Used more than taxpayer portion ($5,000,000.00) of their mid-level exception to sign Georges Niang ($8,800,000).

Cavaliers are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over apron team after this trade, they are only able to take back 110% of the salary they are sending out, plus $0.

Cavaliers can only take back $0 in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $19.5M from the Cavaliers incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Cavaliers.
