Stephen Curry will also have a six month trade restriction based on the likely salary structure. It will run past the trade deadline, so he will stick with the Warriors through the season and see through their 2027 trade deadline and free agency.

Ryan Nembhard was signed with the minimum player exception, so any team with ample apron space can claim him. He still has three years of two-way eligibility. The Mavericks can re-sign him with his reacquisition restriction eliminated as a result of getting traded again.

Pacers don’t have enough apron space for a 15th player right now but will in a couple of weeks into the season. Seems like they’ll bring James Johnson into camp with the intention of eventually giving him a roster spot.

The Hawks will incur a $5.2 million dead cap hit for this season and decline his $7.4 million team option for next season. Devin Carter can sign with any team except the Kings. He still has two years of two-way eligibility remaining.

This trade is almost purely about the cap strategy and draft assets. Pretty good chance all four players involved in the trade get waived. The Pelicans now have all the savings they need while the Grizzlies still need to waive 4 players before the start of the regular season.
