  • "If a team is below the cap (which Toronto is), then their Disabled Player (Toronto has none), Bi-Annual ($1.8M Raptors do have), Mid-Level ($5M Raptors have) and/or Traded Player exceptions (new $7.6M) are added to their team salary, and the league treats the team as though they are over the cap."
    This quote is assuming that the Raptors have a TPE to work with. There is no TPE created.

    Read Q70 in his salary FAFQ

    71. What is the Traded Player exception?

    As described in question number 70, exceptions are the mechanisms that allow teams to function above the salary cap. Any trade which results in the team ending up over the salary cap requires an exception. This is true even if the team is moving downward in salary. For example, if the salary cap is $50 million, a team has a team salary of $55 million, and they want to trade a $5 million player for a $4 million player, they still have to use an exception. Even though their team salary would be decreasing by $1 million, the fact that they would still be over the salary cap ($54 million) means that an exception is required.
    The Raptors were never above the salary cap, so this trade doesn't create a TPE.

    • The fact that no one reporting the trade is mentioning a TPE (as far as I can tell) is good enough for me to go with Prime on this one. It didn't sound right for them to get a TPE to begin with, no one is reporting it unless I missed it and Prime makes some good point.

          I don't think you understand what salary cap exceptions do. They only count towards team salaries if the total brings it over the cap. Suppose if the Raptors brought back someone with double the salary (not possible but let's just assume they did), then a TPE would be created because the Raptors would be over the cap.

          The Raptors were never over the cap to begin with (i.e. with Barbosa) hence no TPE was created. Read the first line of your quote again.

          EDIT:

          Source: http://www.sportscity.com/NBA/Salary-Cap

          Basically, NO TPE IS CREATED since the Raptors were never over the cap. Not every trade generates a TPE.
          I'm not as confident as I was. Basically 50/50 on it.

          Your 50: both teams were under the cap and no one went over.

          My 50: each team has their exceptions (MLE, Bi-Annual, Top Up) available to them. Even if they are below the cap in terms of payroll, they can still be technically over it with their exceptions - however the exceptions don't cost the team anything if they don't use them. A perfect example is the signing of Gray and Forbes: Raps were below the salary cap but signed Gray using the $2,5M top up exception and Forbes using part of bi-annual exception ($1.5M of $1.8M over 2 years). All their other signings were minimum contracts (Butler, Carter, Magloire) which you can use regardless of cap situation. Don't forget before the first day of the season the Raptors also had JV and Weems counting against their cap. The Raps were under the salary cap to start the off-season yet used exceptions.


          The end result is moot unless a trade is made prior to July 1st that has the Raptors ending out salary.

          • didn't read all the posts but i'm sure we all agree barbo was worth probably a late first rounder. maybe there was just no market for him but i'd rather have a 2nd round pick than nothing so i'm fine with this trade.

              And as quickly as it began the Leandro Barbosa era in Toronto has come to an end. The Brazilian Blur has been routed to the Playoff-bound Indiana Pacers to act as a reserve scoring punch to the East's fifth-best team. In return the Raptors get a second-round pick and a $7.6-million trade exception that they have one year to make use of. While neither asset holds the excitement for fans that an actual player holds, both are plusses as the Raptors look to return to relevancy next season.

                I have tapped out. I think you are correct, sir.

                Last time I take Tim Chisholm at face value.

                I missed number 70. I was caught up in 71 and 72. Thank you for setting me straight.

                • And how does a team under cap in the Raptors' scenario use a TPE again?

                    My original thinking was the Raptors, by not renouncing any exceptions, would be over the cap. If they made a trade with contracts going out within trade rules of CBA then they could use TPE to take on up to $7.6M more in salary.

                    I think Prime has set me straight though.

                    Although I'm still a little confused regarding off season acquisitions but the more I think about it the confusion is clearing.

                      This has nothing to do with the Pacers. (Other than the trade, of course lol)

                      I see where you're confused now.

                      We didn't use any exceptions to sign either Forbes or Gray. Gray signed for the vet minimum + some extra (comes up to about $916k). He wasn't signed using an exception. Forbes signed a 3 year deal with the 3rd being a TO. That's not the bi-annual.

                      The $52M (our payroll before the trade I mentioned in my other post) + ~$4.5M cap hit from JV = $56.5M

                      Still under the cap.

                      • So I guess we should expect a huge signing or trade Between the end of season and July 1st.

                          This is something I am sure of:

                          ESPN.com's Marc Stein, Steve Kyler of HoopsWorld, and SI.com's Sam Amick are among those writing that the Raptors have cap space (about $4.3MM) to put toward an offer for Chandler. It had previously been thought that the Raptors had used their mid-level exception and bi-annual exception to sign Aaron Gray and Gary Forbes respectively. If the team has available cap space, however, it must have renounced its $16MM in cap holds, signed Forbes using cap space, and signed Gray using its $2.5MM room exception for teams under the cap. Still, a contract starting at $4.3MM won't be enough to scare off the Nuggets, so if the Raptors are serious about Chandler, they could try to make a trade that clears more cap space, as Kyler reports.
                          http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/02/o...-chandler.html

                          So I was half right - Forbes was signed using cap space.

                          HoopsHype.com is the only site claiming Gray is $915k. Everyone else has him at $2.5M.


                          Right now they can’t do a sign-and-trade (under the rules of the CBA) and they can only offer him a contract starting at $4.3 million U.S. (what they have left under the salary cap). That won’t get it done, meaning they’ll have to make a trade that opens up some more cap space (trading out a bigger salary for a player or players making $2 million or so less or moving someone like Leandro Barbosa for a trade exception).

                          The team spent the new mid-level exception for room teams ($2.5 million) on Aaron Gray, allowing them to keep their remaining cap space.

                          Regardless, on the TPE in question I am most definitely wrong.

                            • Don't be surprised to see him back.....

                              Via HoopsHype.com:

                              Jorge Sierra: Arturo Barbosa tells HoopsHype his brother Leandro is happy about the trade to Indiana, but also very emotional about it. "(Leandro) was drafted by Brian Colangelo and they are very close since 2003," Arturo said. "He would like to be with the Raptors because he had confidence that the team could have a reaction and then go to playoffs." Twitter

                              I would not be surprised to see Leandro back - especially if Toronto acquires significant salary on draft night. The reason is they could then use part or all of the MLE on him.

                                The ESPN Trade Machine has credited Toronto with a $7.6M trade exception despite being under the cap by about $4.3M.
