Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 4673832, member: 767"] If they're over the second apron, they wont have any mid level at all, their draft pick 7 years out will be frozen from trading, (and moved to the end of the round) they won't be able to take back more salary in a trade than they send out, they wont be able to aggregate salaries to trade for a single player, and they wouldnt be able to sign anyone in the buyout market, and they couldn't sign any bought out player whose salary was above the non taxpayer MLE (like Russ this season). The taxes also do go significantly up, I wouldnt be 100% sure Ballmer will continue to be willing to pay, but that seems like less of an issue. I'm also intentionally not getting into any Laker vs Clipper thing, just answering the bolded question [/QUOTE]
