I keep asking this. How does the trade exception work?

---

The trade exception is a certain amount, basically a credit from a previous trade where you didn't send out as much salary as you were allowed to.

You can take a player into that exception as long as the player's entire salary fits. Trade exceptions cannot be bundled with other exceptions or players. So our $17 million trade exception can't bring back Buddy and his $24 million salary even if you added another player.

What do we have to give up to use it?

All trades require both sides to send something, at least cash, draft rights to a euro that's never coming, fake 2nds. So if a team just wanted to salary dump you have to send something back.

If a team had a back up PF you like that makes $17 or less then you could send them 2nds and cash and nothing else to make the trade happen.
