We’re more than a week past the official trade deadline (Feb. 8) but that doesn’t mean all franchises across the Association have finished putting together their rosters, let alone comply with the NBA rules in place for the regular season.
When it comes to roster building and with trades not allowed anymore until after the playoffs, teams in the L are trying to snatch the best possible talent still available through the free-agent/buyout market.
We’ve already seen the likes of Philadelphia poaching Kyle Lowry from Charlotte after he got traded there by Miami. We’ve seen the Lakers fail to make a trade last week but convince Spencer Dinwiddie to sign a deal with them.
