- When trading a player, a team has the option of retaining a portion of that player's contract, paying the salary and taking the salary cap hit for that portion. The remaining portion of the contract is charged to the player's new team.
- The trading team can retain up to 50 percent of the departing player's salary and cap hit.
- A team can carry no more than three "traded" contracts at one time.
- The total paid to players who have been traded cannot exceed 15 percent of the team's salary cap.
- A player can be traded with "retained salary" no more than twice over the life of a single contract.
