One CBA nuance that may be very relevant is that the super-tight trade restrictions for teams over Apron 2 begin at the end of the 2023-24 regular season, rather than in July 2024 free agency.
No aggregation (in taking a player), 100% matching, can't offer cash.
For teams with bigger issues, they may feel compelled to make some big moves this summer. They need teams with cap room, TPEs, and expiring salary. But on the other side of those trades, you don't want to be stuck with the bad multi-year salary because it will clog your cap and probably become hard to move.
Who are the teams with biggest looming payroll issues? I know GS and LAC should have big issues. Anyone else?
