If a sign and trade is to happen with any of our players, are we able to retain on the final year of their existing deal as part of the trade or does that ability go away when the new deal is signed prior to being dealt.

I think in order to make it work the sign part is not really part of the trade. I believe if a player has an extension signed starting next year and there is salary retained it will be for as long as that player is signed and won’t end at the end of the current contract.
Easy workaround is the player and new team agree to a deal in principle and sign the contract after the trade so it would technically not be a sign and trade. If we move a guy before the deadline the new team can still offer 8 years.
