Blazers GET $2m from luxury tax

espn.com breaks down the luxury cap situation. Only five teams are over the $65.4m threshold: New York, Dallas, Denver, Minnesota, and San Antonio.  

New York owes the League $45m, about six and half times the 2nd highest, Dallas' $7.2m. Every other NBA team, including the Blazers, get to split all that money. It ends up being a little under $2m each.

I'm a little confused though, because various sources (for example here and here) have Phoenix way over the tax threshold. Did the trade with the Blazers help get them under?
