Absolutely haywire.
Do teams have money ? Teams having no money is a recipe for a million head scratching moves since the AI will see that it has no money and that it needs to dump salary (even after an inaugrual draft). After the trade, it'll see that it has a hole that needs to be filled and trade to fill that hole, but sometimes, it fills that hole with another guy making a lot of money, perpetuating the cycle.

The human player knows how to dump salary the right way : send the guy to some other team with a prospect attached and some retained salary, and then plug in a guy making the minimum in his place. The AI will often dump salary with a lot of retention on its part (80%+), without attaching a good player, and replace the player it dumped with another player making a lot of money. Not always, but it happens.
