Welcome to the unofficially official start of the NBA trade season, folks!
As we hit Dec. 15, as many as 81 free agents who signed a deal last offseason just became eligible to be traded. That includes, of course, two of your beloved New York Knicks: Donte DiVincenzo and Ryan Arcidiacono.
According to NBA rules and regulations, as stated in their official explainer, “A free agent who signs a standard NBA player contract (or a player who signs, or is converted to, a standard NBA player contract while under a Two-Way Contract) cannot be traded for three months following the date the contract is signed or until December 15 of the Salary Cap Year in which the contract is signed, whichever is later.
