They can use a trade exception at some point due to the trade. Not clear exactly. However if buddy is only going for 7-8 mil (what’s left of the warriors trade exception) i don’t believe it’s enough to acquire DFS using that exception

Then we don't take back extra cap.

Then we don't take back extra cap. Possible. It’s also possible they just get second round picks from the warriors. Would have to wait to see what they get. If they only get second round picks then they’d get those and a trade exception sixers might go Caleb Martin if he costs less in terms of picks and contract than DFS. Also could decide to balloon Martin’s contract to use him as a piece at the deadline to match money.

It is definitely the dumbest salary cap system out there. Designed to keep nerds in media

Designed to keep nerds in media it really does. Bryan does a pretty good job keeping up with it. I tend to trust him when he breaks down stuff. KJ Martin is going to get a balloon contract to use at the deadline to match salary Essentially, from what I’ve read from him, the Sixers don’t want to be hard capped via taking contracts back. Because they can balloon KJ Martin’s contract and then use it at the trade deadline to get a really good player or a good player because of that balloon contract. If they are hard capped by taking contracts back it’s more difficult to make that happen.

I'm pretty sure it was the same guy in another tweet that said "not that it matters" but 7ers would get hard capped at 2nd apron. As if to say they would still make the move because they don't plan on getting to the 2nd apron anyway.

In his article if they plan on doing a KJ Martin balloon contract if you are hard capped at either apron, it makes it way harder to do that. I am guessing if that’s the route they’re going they don’t want to be hard called and they’re gonna plan to exploit the fact that they can take advantage of KJ Martin cap hold and balloon contract and get a better player down the road at the deadline. apparently the problem with doing a sign in trade with KJ Martin’s contract is if you do that is that only half the salary goes out to match. what I think he’s been trying to say is that they might be better off waving Paul Reed using his money to sign someone like a Caleb Martin to that salary. Ballooning KJ Martin’s contract and using him at the deadline to improve the team with his inflated number.

None of these trade options seem that much better than Martin if he’s gettable. They are a little better but not enough to lose future flexibility

They are a little better but not enough to lose future flexibility from what I understand of it if you just wave Paul Reed and you sign hypothetically Caleb Martin to his money you stay below the hard cap apron completely. And it’s an upgrade. And frankly, it’s a decent contract for you. sixers are likely going to balloon KJ Martin‘s contract and exploit a stipulation in the cba that probably shouldn’t exist. at the deadline is gonna be super valuable if you need somebody to improve the roster due to that balloon contract. you’re gonna be able to match salary to get a player you probably want and could help your team. If the sixers only get picks back in the hield sign and trade then you are essentially hard capping yourself if you deal Reed for DFS and much harder to use Kj Martin’s exploited balloon contract
