2020 NBA Trade Season Kicks Off Today: Will the New Orleans Pelicans make a move?

Ready for what will hopefully be a flurry of trades that dominate the news cycle today?

Starting at noon Eastern (11:00 a.m. Central), the NBA moratorium will no longer sit in place.

Trade season begins Monday afternoon, sources tell ESPN. Teams were informed the NBA’s moratorium will end at noon ET and deals can begin to be consummated.

Teams will in effect be able to start wheeling and dealing right after the bell rings — I’m envisioning Adam Silver startling representatives from all 30 franchises on a Zoom call with an air horn or some other aggravating noise device.
