I went on sportrac to calculate the exact salaries and matching number and came up with $10,485,937 with a hard cap of $10,533,402. So utilizing all of our matching number for those 3 players (or getting as close to it) is within the CBA rules.
Almost….
Where it wouldn’t work is if you are doing a 3 for 1 for one returning player. At 15 players (so with Morris), you have to add a $2mm minimum slot. If you do a 3 for 1 at 14 players, you have to add two minimum slots. You have to stay at 14 players after the trade. It doesn’t mean there isn’t a deal out there, but the entire $10mm spread can’t go to one player if you are sending out three guys.
