Dec. 15 marks the date when the majority of trade restrictions will be lifted around the NBA.
Dean Wade has spent the entirety of his NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers. There are only a few weeks left for him to prove to the franchise that a spot on the roster should be reserved for him until the end of the year.
Wade is in the last season of his three-year, $18.5 million deal with Cleveland. Expiring contracts tend to serve a specific role on the trade market.
