Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
Cash considerations is a fancy way of saying 'literal cash' with the caveat that it does not count toward the receiving team's salary cap. The motivation to do this type of trade is: to obtain draft picks to obtain rights to a particular player (to be drafted or under contract) to use as a bargaining chip to match salaries or take on salary Article from jros : Cash considerations in the NBA are exactly what they sound like – actual money offered to teams as part of a deal. The only difference here is that cash considerations do not count towards the recipient team's salary cap.
