Not necessarily easier from an AI perspective. Conditionals will generally be used to balance a deal that otherwise couldn't be balanced - the conditions ratchet down the value of a draft pick to a level that will make a deal work. Retained salary would require the AI to evaluate its trading partner's financial situation, its own, and the relationship between the two even before you get into any valuation issues.
