It's admittedly a bit confusing. See, the cash you have on hand impacts your ability to sign free agents, so technically yes, getting cash in a trade will increase your budget room. However, the game only takes cash into account AFTER it calculates the budget room that you see on the Finances screen:
For example, this team's just over-budget by about $400K. The only way that could change is if they lowered their expenses (via getting rid of a player, spending less on scouting, etc). But then, the $2M cash they have on hand is added to their balance, and it puts them into the green. If they went out and made a trade that got them some more cash (assuming the contracts of the traded players are equal), their projected budget room wouldn't change, but their available funds would still go up when the cash is factored in.
