Just a quick question about trade exceptions. I know how teams get them, so that doesn't have to be discussed. I just want to know how it works if they're traded to another team.

So say, Team A has a trade exception from a trade that took place the prior season, and it's going to expire in two months. Team A makes a trade with Team B acquiring a player from the other team.

Now does the trade exception still expire the same time it would have if it wasn't traded in the first place? Or is it good for another year for the team that currently has it in their possession?

I'll explain using an example:

Team A has a trade exception for $5 million. It expires on August 25th, 2004.

On July 20th, 2004, Team B trades a $5 million player to Team A and receives no salary back. Perfectly legal trade.

Team B now has a trade exception for $5.1 million that expires on July 20th, 2005.


It's not so much that one team transfers a trade exception from one team to another. Instead, one team uses their trade exception at the same time that another team gains a trade exception.

Okay, that's what I thought it was. Thanks a lot So Cal.
