Blazersedge: Exclusive Interview with Portland Assistant GM Trade Machine
TM: A player who signs an extension that is to begin the following season has what's known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged with the salaries he is to receive in his extension and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes.
BE: But that only lasts until July 1st, right?
TM: Yes.
BE: So after July 1st...
TM: Doesn't work.
BE: What do you mean, "Doesn't work"? Clearly you just said that after July 1st...
TM: July 1st doesn't exist. Only today exists. So say we all.
BE: But...
TM: SO SAY WE ALL!
Good stuff.
