What the hell is trade exception

Teams with a trade exception have up to a year in which they can acquire more salary in other trades (Trade #2, #3, etc.) than they send away, as long as the gulf in salaries for Trade #2, #3, etc. are less than or equal to the difference in salary for Trade #1.

Just puts the final question mark on what has been a mystery of an offseason already.  I just don't get it...  IMO, Troy shouldve been getting a lot more minutes than he was here anyway.  There aren't many guys in the league that can sit on a bench for 20+ mins and come out making threes like they've been in the whole game.  I would think that's an asset you'd want to keep...

And then all we get back is a trade exception?  Ridiculous.

I agree 100% - we should keep him to mold him into a starting SG or at least the 1st guy off the bench, like a JR Smith..

but you have to understand the front office mindset on him to see why this is a good move (in their eyes).. they see him as someone that is out of the regular rotation and not cemented in the 2nd unit.. he is expendable to Cho/Cliff.. ship him off for cap room - in my 'conspiracy theory' - it is to give Marvin extra $$$.. he took a pay cut so we could go after another big name, and when we didn't land who he thought we would land = he is upset about taking less and wants what he is due.. i have no idea why he hasn't signed yet like everyone else has.. it's weird when he was the one everyone knew he wasn't going anywhere and staying 'home'.. maybe he saw what happened to D.Wade and was like - "that ain't gon be me!!"

Cho knows he blew his load into getting this team in the playoffs after the Lance debacle. Now he's swinging for the fences next off-season by trying to save every dollar he can. Hopefully it doesn't backfire, but if the Hornets don't get in the playoffs.. let alone advance, he knows he's finished.

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
