And the real issue here is why it won't let him make the trade....(although he didn't tell us the salaries of the two players involved). Understanding that formula would be helpful, but I couldn't find it in the manual....
The part I said made sense was Mattymo's explanation of the "Projected" balance being -34M. The game simply took 99M as the "projected" expenses, then basically took April's Gate revenue and Merchandising Revenue and multiplied by 6 (because there are six months in the season), to come up with projected revenues that leave a 34 million dollar deficit.

Again, this is such a flawed way to come up with "Projected" revenue, it makes this number useless, so why have it??

As for the trade thing, one thing to consider is next years availabe money's. That is only $7 million, so a trade for a player with a salary higher than that would be unable to be completed. That may be the problem here. Or the game is INCORRECTLY using the approximate $1M left in budget and ignoring the $25M cash. When signing FA or making trades, the money availabe was always the amount under budget PLUS beginning cash.
