I noticed that after with the Hagelin deal, the rules in the Armchair-GM trade calculators regarding maximum salary retention changed.
Yesterday, when I tried to create a trade scenario where the Kings retained more than $1.75 million of salary, I received an error saying that you can't retain more than 50% of a player's salary. However, Hagelin just got traded to Washington with a salary retention of $1.875 million.
I realize that the wording in the CBA is ambiguous when it refers to the "maximum 50% retention." Did you guys get clarification from teams/league about what the rules actually are, or did you just update the rules using the Hagelin trade as evidence that cumulative cap retention > 50% is allowed?
Just curious. Thanks, keep up the good work.
