Here is the format for posting trades in this league. If any part is missing, be it ratings for players, salaries (correct salaries), team or player options, Team Names, or incorrect total incoming/outgoing, we will not vote on your trade.

Using this deal to explain the 125% rule
Even though the Celtics are already over the cap, they can take on more salary than they give, as long as they are getting back no more than 125% (+$100,000) of what they gave.
So, in this case, Boston gave up $8,537,119. To figure out how much salary they can take back in a deal, you take that number and multiply it by 1.25 (125%), then add $100,000
$8,537,119 x 1.25 = $10,671,398.75 + $100,000 = $10,771,398.75
Just round the cents. So, up if it's .50 and over, and down if it's .49 and under. This means Boston can take on $10,771,399 if he is giving up $8,537,119 in a deal. If he is getting back any more than that number, the deal is invalid and will be rejected.
When does the 125% rule apply to a trade?
Good Question! Here are the situations when you need to think about the 125% rule.
If a team is taking on more money than it is giving, and that team is either already over the cap, or will become more than $100,000 over the cap as a result of the deal being processed, you need to make sure the deal works under the 125% rule.
Wikipedia's wording of the Trading Rules
- Teams below the salary cap may trade without regard to salary, as long as they don't end up more than $100,000 above the cap following a trade.
- Teams above the cap (or teams below the cap but would end up more than $100,000 over the cap following a trade) cannot acquire more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary they trade away. There is no lower limit -- teams may divest themselves of as much salary as they wish in a trade.
