If you trade a player, you can't reacquire the same player in a retained salary transaction for one calendar year thereafter. This was in section 50.5(e)(iii), paragraph (C), of the old CBA. I'm not sure if the numbering is the same in the current CBA (which I don't have handy), but I believe the same restriction has been kept in place.
Also, for what it's worth, if you trade away a player and retain salary on his contract, you can't reacquire him for one calendar year, unless his contract expires in the meantime and the retention ends.
