I'm still not entirely sure how the turning Peja into a $9 million trade exception all went down

if you are over the cap and trade a player to a team under the cap, that salary (or if multiple players are involved, the difference in salary) becomes a trade exception.

i believe we actually had to do 2 deals in that one

I meant the specific order of trades to maximize the size of the exception, point being Demps has shown he can manage cap space even when his owner tells him to cut payroll to avoid bankruptcy.

False.

It has nothing to do with being over the cap or not in itself. It has to do with a nonsimultaneous trade.

this means you can have it be unbalanced in terms of salary, but you get the exception if you sent out salary. Then, you can use that to absorb a player in trade later. So, ignoring the intervening time, it balances according to a modified set of rules.
