Option A) keep it as is, 150% rule or 100% +5 (the lesser of the two numbers) Used in all trades even when both teams are under the cap.
Option B) no percentage restrictions on trades, as long as both teams remain under the hard cap of 75 million after the trade, the trade is legal.
Here's how to vote: I'm including a poll with option A or B, you click which you prefer. Your vote is final after first submission(no changing Later)
Or you can post option A: number, option B: number
My vote is option A: 2 Option B: 1
could we make the % rule, whichever is larger not smaller. the smaller makes it real hard to trade a cheap overperforming player (150% of 300K is only 450K, but if it ws 100%+5 he cld be trade for a comparbly peforming player just someone on a more vetern contract up to 5.3M) (for example Kevin love last year was only 2.something million he was just as valuable as anyone in the league but it'd have been hard to trade him for anyone except the cheapest players in the league)
If we keep the percentage rule, the 150% works both ways . Like last year if I'm trading love(3.92M) I can take on 5.88 mil or 2.62 mil in salary back.
yea i ws just pointing out if u changed it to greater u cldve gotten 8.92 back, giving u more flexability in a trade to get a better larger ssalary player

I see just like mine and cnotes reconfigured frye and Johnson trade which still doesn't fit the current rules.
Assuming this wins (it's well ahead at the moment) does this implie that we can make pure salary dump trades where one side gives nothing up?
id assume so, lakers just did it.
maybe ud probably have to get a pick or something though. Commish probably has final say/veto powers. But if u are out of contention why not trade a productive vet to a contending team and take some young cheap potential guys and some picks (or even just a straight salary dump of a declinging guy on a long trem contract - say im not contending this year wldnt it be smarter to salary dump jason kidd for nothing than to hold him and pay him on a rebuilding squad - a team that managed their cap well wld be nicely positioned to make a smart play before the playoff - at the same point its not like i wldnt shop him and try and get best value) .

Well this would be a no considering the other team would be getting nothing from the deal, but yes in terms of trading someone with a lot of money on their contract for someone with less.
