When several roster decisions share a planning window, where do basketball, roster, reported salary, cap, trade, exception and draft constraints overlap?
PHX has 1 multi-player planning windows and 8 fully enumerated conditional branch combinations. Overlap counts identify review pressure, not preferred outcomes.

A planning window — decisions sharing a staff planning date, never a claimed simultaneous deadline.PHX has 3 actionable player decisions sharing the 2024-06-29 planning anchor. All 8 bounded branch combinations are enumerated for stress testing, but the anchor is not claimed as an exact simultaneous contract deadline.

Shared planning anchors are staff workflow dates, not automatically exact simultaneous contract deadlines.
All bounded branch combinations are enumerated; none is assigned a probability or recommendation.
Player-specific possessions and ratings are not summed across players.
Only directly reported option salary is added across decisions.
Every scenario needs a new dated cap, roster, trade and CBA execution test.
Prior exception receipts are reference evidence, not the scenario wallet.
Scenario branches do not alter pick ownership or prove tradability.
Team-season counts summarize conditional branch-space coverage. They are not probabilities, rankings, cap projections, legal opinions or front-office grades.
