Here is how the transaction game involving thousands of Benjamin Franklins works. Each team has $6,360,000 from July 1 to June 30 at their disposal to send or receive in a trade. The amount is then replenished to a projected $6,895,000 when the new league year starts in July. For example, the Oklahoma City Thunder sent the full $6.36 million to the Houston Rockets in September to offset salary sent in the eight-player deal between the two teams. As such, OKC is not allowed to send money in a deal until July 1. Since it was an outgoing transaction, the Thunder are still allowed to receive up to the capped amount in a trade.
