We need some real world examples to make it more clear what can and can't be done.
* The main exception to this comes in the form of the traded player exception, also known as the trade exception. If a team has a traded player exception for $10 million, that team can trade it for a player making up to $10 million without sending any salary back. The Al Jefferson trade -- which involved the Jazz sending the Wolves only Kosta Koufos and draft picks -- was able to happen because of a trade exception. The Jazz orchestrated a sign-and-trade deal with the Bulls for Boozer in exchange for roughly $14 million in value in this trade exception, allowing them to swing a deal just like the one they agreed to with Minnesota. Al Jefferson $12,000,000 traded for Kosta Koufos $1,214,040 + $10 Mil of TPE + 2 Draft Picks Danny Ainge's secret weapon: The Traded Player Exceptionhttp://www.celticslife.com/2015/01/danny-ainges-secret-weapon-trade-player.html |

Another explanation of the concept.
Secondly, there are a plethora of teams that carry an undesirable and unfavorable contract that they would love to unload. http://www.nba.com/magic/news/cohen-trade-exception-could-end-helping-magic-multiple-ways_101512 |

Dude, you don't need to explain the concept. Most everyone understands the concept. We had tons of discussion during the season about trading our expiring players, Amare and Bargs, to teams for cap relief and picks. But then, it was about trading for guys that suck and have large contracts: Josh Smith, Gerald Wallace, Lance Stephenson. Now, people on this thread are talking about getting good basketball players on reasonable contracts and draft picks as well. Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
