De'Anthony Melton cannot be traded to a team aggregated with other players from his team because 2 months have not passed since he was traded for. He can only be traded away to a team by himself and other non-player assets from his team (draft picks, cash considerations, etc). This restriction expires after Feb 13, 2025.

This trade would result in the Nets crossing the tax apron of ($178.1M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $4.3M 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 $72.1M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $11.4M from the Nets incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Nets.
