About the cap space, you just have to make sure the salaries of the players you are trading are as close as possible.

Basically, you clear up cap space by reducing your payroll. That's not easy to do during a season, but if you want to prepare some cap space for the offseason, you can trade for players whose contracts will expire at the end of your current season...and of course, don't sign anyone you don't want/need during the offseason.

If you're desperate for cap room during the first season, try dealing away a couple of your unwanted players to the Charlotte Bobcats for players with much smaller contracts. You might have to forfeit a couple of good players for some bad ones with tiny deals, but you'll be able to get cap space to work other trades or sign some of the better free agents.
