According to CBAFAQ, the maximum amount of cash a team can pay or recieve per season is limited to the Maximum Annual Cash Limit”, which is $5.617 million in 2019-20 season.
| Season | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2017-18 | $5.1 million |
| 2018-19 | $5.243 million |
| 2019-20 | $5.617 million |
There are two separate limits, one of the limits pertains to the amount of cash a team pays as part of trades and one amount that limits the amount each team receives as a part of trades each season. So in 2019 a team may pay $5.617 million as well as received $5.617 million each season
Cash isn’t considered when matching salaries under the Traded Player exception. For example, a taxpaying team cannot add $3 million cash to a trade of their $5 million player in order to acquire a $10 million player.
