This deal creates a trade exception too right? I just read that it could give Utah their MLE.
Trade exemptions only exist if you're over the cap. Go under the cap and it'll disappear. Jazz will need cap room to get Conley, so the TPE will fizzle out.
 
@Darkwing Duck so this report is wrong?
Yes. We have to move Favors to get far enough under the cap to accept Conley/Bojan, so the Favors trade happens first. Since it puts us under the cap, there’s no exception (an exception means an exception to the salary cap, and since you’re under it there’s no reason to have an “exception” because you are not in violation, if you will).
