What would have to happen

Build it in the Trade Machine →
Brandon Miller → Nets
Send out at least $7.43M
The Nets are under the cap, so to take on $15.10M they need to send out $7.43M or more under the 200% + $250k rule.
Brandon Miller → Heat
Send out at least $15.10M
The Heat are above the first apron, so to take on $15.10M they need to send out at least as much (100%, no cushion above the first apron).
Brandon Miller → Magic
Send out at least $15.10M
The Magic are above the second apron, so to take on $15.10M they need to send out at least as much (100%, no cushion above the first apron). Above the second apron they also cannot combine two contracts to do it.
