Isaiah Stewart is on a rookie contract and signed an extension that is to begin the following season. Therefore, he has what is known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged along with the salaries he is to receive in his extension, and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes. His outgoing value for the Pistons will be $5.2M while his incoming value for the receiving team will be $13.0M.
Pistons are unable to complete this trade. Since they are not an over apron team, and they are sending out between $7,500,000 and $29.0M in salary, they are only able to take back $7.5M more than the salary they are sending out.
Pistons can only take back $15.3M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.
Cut $5.2M from the Pistons incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Pistons.
