For some reason trades for draft picks seem to have been made when they are
not obviously within the 15%.

Is there a different rule here?

Kestas,

	The below explanation states  that: "Due to all teams being under
the cap, the 15% trade rule is not invoked."        	Could that mean
that after trading Kenny, we were under? In the first scenario we took
back contracts, which perhaps kept us over.
