TRADE: Caleb Martin + 2030 2nd to Dallas | Grimes + PHI 2nd heads to 76ers

[DanSchwartzgan]

So, if Martin waives his trade bonus. The Mavs save $1,222,350 and remain $1,393,470 below the first apron?

If not, they're just under by $171,120.


Did AD really waive his kicker so the Mavs could do the Grimes for Martin trade? There has to be more, right?

Spotrac is reporting this as the latter...we are $171,120 under the 1st apron.  I don't know if that is official or just them assuming.  Martin had a trade kicker and ULI which both go into the apron math.

We are at 14 players and this tight to the apron (assuming Spotrac is correct).  So, any trade likely brings back less salary now, not more.
