So I guess the whole can't include players with TPE is wrong.

I'm pretty sure that rule implies that, if the TPE is insufficient to cover the player you traded for, you are not allowed to add a player to make it work. In our case the TPE is big enough to absorb the whole salary of big Al. We could as well mention the additional draft picks and koufos as a seperate deal if we wished so.

Jazzmanian Devil already explained correctly, but I'll add an example.

If the Boozer TPE was only $12M, they would not be able to add Koufos' $1.3M to make the trade work.
Since the Boozer TPE was $13M, it was sufficient to absorb Jefferson's salary. Adding Koufos is fine because his addition isn't imperative to be able to accept the $13M.

From Minnesota's perspective, the TPE is irrelevant. They traded away $13M and received $1.3M, and it is always OK to drop salary by any amount (it just has to work somehow for the the other team to take on the additional salary).

And the bitter part is? Look, Minnesota now wants to get rid of him: "David Kahn just said here in Las Vegas that he has already talked to Koufos' agent and will try to move Koufos on a team where he might play more than on a Wolves team" (https://www.startribune.com/sports/...=KArksi8cyaiUqPk4DyCc75DiUiacyKUnciaec8O7EyUr). Clearly KOC added him to a deal just to dump his salary. So, now instead of 1.7 mil over the tax, we are only .4 mil over.

When you are over the tax, you pay double, and to pay Koufos 2.6 mil to be 4th stringer is something I am sure Greg Miller did not want to do. I was actually encouraged by his progress in summer League, and thought at 21, he still had a chance, but let's face it, 100 Koufoses are still not worth 1 Al Jefferson. Losing him is a nuisance.

I'm pretty sure he has to wait until Mid-December to re-trade Boom Bitches.
