Outstanding NBA Trade Exceptions

Hoops Rumors’ up-to-date list of traded player exceptions is below. These are salary cap exceptions teams can use to acquire one or more players whose salaries are no greater than the amount of the exception (plus $250K for non-apron teams).

Trade exceptions cannot be combined and expire after one year. For more information on traded player exceptions, check out Hoops Rumors’ glossary entry.

The amount of the exception, the deal in which it was obtained, and the expiration date are listed below. If a team has used a portion of an exception, that is also indicated. If you have any corrections or omissions, please contact us.

Note: Teams operating above either tax apron are ineligible to use traded player exceptions created during the 2023 offseason or the 2023/24 regular season. These exceptions are marked below in italics.
