the Pistons made some changes in the frontcourt and on the wing while generating some additional cap flexibility; the Grizzlies swapped out Aldama for Stewart while taking on some unwanted salary and netting extra draft picks; the Bucks took on LeVert\u2019s salary in order to land a couple second-round picks; the Wizards reacquired Middleton and moved off Russell\u2019s expiring contract; and the Clippers generated a $17MM trade exception by signing-and-trading Collins.<\/p>\n<p>L.A. wasn\u2019t the only team to create an eight-figure trade exception as a result of the deal \u2014 the Pistons also generated one worth $15MM, which is equivalent to Stewart\u2019s outgoing salary.<\/p>\n<p>All six teams involved in the trade will now be hard-capped at the first tax apron for the rest of the 2026\/27 league year, meaning their team salaries can\u2019t surpass $209,015,000 between now and June 30, 2027. That\u2019s unlikely to be an issue, given that none of them currently appear likely to even cross into luxury tax territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mavericks, Pistons, Grizzlies, Clippers, Bucks, and Wizards have officially completed the six-team mega-deal that incorporates several separate&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":921799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[10],"tags":[219593,26476,23296,17658,261972,36252,23227,138358,25871,62,371519,25869,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-921798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-aj-johnson","tag-caris-levert","tag-dangelo-russell","tag-gary-harris","tag-isaiah-stewart","tag-john-collins","tag-khris-middleton","tag-marcus-sasser","tag-santi-aldama","tag-sports","tag-tarik-biberovic","tag-taurean-prince","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116886721805688851","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/921798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=921798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/921798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/921799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=921798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=921798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=921798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
