Yeah, this doesn't make sense to me either....you have plenty of cash on hand to make up for even for a $31 million dollar shortfall.

I found another forum thread that talks about the same thing, but no answers Front Office Screen

I would post in tech support.

The manual has this to say:
To determine whether the teams can afford the deal, the computer checks your projected remaining player expenses before and after the trade and adds or subtracts any cash involved in the deal. It compares that figure to your budget for the current year and the next year as well, factoring in contract extensions, possible arbitration, players leaving through free agency, and so forth. If the trade remains within the estimated budget, then the trade is acceptable.

It's not entirely clear, but it seems to be that the proj. final balance is the issue.
