One thing you can try is to look at who is on the trading block. Sometimes (not always, not regularly, just occasionally) you can swing a deal for a player on the block that will save you money. If you are trying to move a 10 million dollar guy and some other team will give you a 6 million dollar guy for him, even if you don't need him, you saved 4 million (pro-rated depending on what point of the season you are playing). This is especially helpful if you are trying to trade a guy with a multi-year deal and you can find a single-year contract to trade for.
