NBA Shockwave: Why the Nuggets Are Betting Big on the Michael Porter Jr.-Cam Johnson Trade

The savings in salary give the Nuggets options. They now have access to the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, which is an exception that allows them to sign a player to a contract with up to $14.1 million as the starting salary.

The Nuggets won’t be able to use the entire exception without shedding more money because they are too close to the first apron line, but they can use significantly more than the $5.7 million they would’ve had available for the taxpayer mid-level exception prior to the trade. The same is true for their $16.8 million trade exception. The Nuggets can use the amount they have up to the first apron but hard-cap their team at that line by using either exception.
