After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade AJ Griffin since he has a team option next year which is worth $3.8M.

Thunder do not have available cap space nor suitable TPE to use to sign Griffin.

Thunder are unable to complete this trade. Since they are not an over apron team, and they are sending out less then $7,500,000 in salary, they are only able to take back 200% of the salary they are sending out, plus $250,000.

Thunder can only take back $250K in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $3.4M from the Thunder incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Thunder.
