NBA teams can include cash as part of a trade but are limited to $7,964,000 for all transactions during the 2025-26 season. That’s two separate figures representing what teams can take in and what they can send out.

Teams above the second apron ($207,824,000) cannot send out cash in trade; conversely, if a team sends out cash in trade, they have a second-apron hard cap.

The following lists each team and their available balances to send and receive:
