The trade is going to be official on July 6 and after the Pacers absorb Warren’s contract. After the trade, the Pacers will have $31M in cap space and the Suns will have $21M in cap space for the offseason.
Trade will not be finalized until July 6 when the Pacers will have room to absorb TJ Warren. Indiana will still have close to $31M in room after the trade (not including the Bogdanovic hold). Phoenix will have $21M ($29.5M w/o Oubre Jr.) after the trade. https://t.co/V3jBkqAOXi
