The assigned player exception is the primary means used by teams over the cap for completing trades. It allows teams to make trades that leave them over the cap, but it places several restrctions on those trades. Mainly, a team cannot use the assigned player exception to acquire in trade more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salaries they are trading. For example, a team using the assigned player exception to trade a player who earns $5 million can receive one or more players whose salary is no more than 115% of $5 million, plus $100,000, or $5.85 million in return.

But what do the Kings get in return? I thought draft picks had no value? If so what did the kings get in return for Keon Clark's salary, since they're over the cap?
