After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade Aaron Holiday since he has a team option next year which is worth $3.9M.

This trade would result in the Clippers crossing the tax apron of ($138.9M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $6.0M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Used more than taxpayer portion ($5,718,000.00) of their mid-level exception to sign Serge Ibaka.

Clippers are unable to complete this trade. Since they are a taxpaying team, they are only able to take back 125% of the salary they are sending out, plus $100,000.

Clippers can only take back $6.6M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $6.1M from the Clippers incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Clippers.
