Acquisition paths

Threshold candidates only — a candidate route is not exact transaction legality.
Era specific exception and trade rules require team ledger
WithheldExact transaction legality withheld — no exception-usage, cap-hold, and transaction ledger evidence

Selected player charges do not include every cap hold, dead-money charge or roster charge.

Threshold route candidates are not exact transaction legality.

Cash, cap and economic commitment remain separate; no universal flexibility or front-office score.
