I think we're both second apron teams which means neither of us can take on more than 100% of outgoing value in a trade. Which means the salaries would have to match to the cent, or a third team would have to facilitate to allow us both to drop salary. Not sure when that restriction starts, think it might have been after the end of this past regular season.
I had thought we had until the 29th or July 1st before we could no longer aggregate salaries cuz that's when the new league year officially starts. For GS, they basically just have to waive CP3's non-guaranteed salary at this point.
I wasn't even thinking about the aggregating salaries part, but that piece definitely started the day after the regular season ended. I was thinking about this part:
Based on that it seems like we can't increase salary through trades at all (same with GS). So teams over the first apron functionally can not trade directly with each other anymore. They need a sub-apron co-signer to soak up enough salary such that both apron teams come in at or below their previous level. And that sub-apron team can't be compensated with cash from 2nd apron teams, either.
