Today is Monday, January 15, which means that a total of 17 players who signed free agent contracts meeting specific criteria this past offseason are now eligible to be traded.
Most offseason signees became trade-eligible on December 15, but players who met the following criteria were ineligible to be moved for an extra month:
- The player re-signed with his previous team.
- He got a raise of at least 20%.
- His salary is worth more than the minimum.
- His team was over the cap and used Bird or Early Bird rights to sign him.
The following players met that criteria and are eligible to be traded as of Monday:
- Miles Bridges (Hornets) *
- Ayo Dosunmu (Bulls)
- Jerami Grant (Trail Blazers)
- Rui Hachimura (Lakers)
- Cameron Johnson (Nets)
- Herbert Jones (Pelicans)
- Tre Jones (Spurs)
- Kyle Kuzma (Wizards)
- Brook Lopez (Bucks)
- Trey Lyles (Kings)
- Jakob Poeltl (Raptors)
- Austin Reaves (Lakers)
- Paul Reed (Sixers) *
- Matisse Thybulle (Trail Blazers) *
- Moritz Wagner (Magic)
- P.J. Washington (Hornets)
- Coby White (Bulls)
(* Players marked with an asterisk have the ability to veto trades.)
Most of the players on NBA rosters are now eligible to be moved, though a small handful still can’t be dealt. That group includes Heat guard Dru Smith, who becomes trade-eligible on Monday, Hornets guard Ish Smith (trade-eligible on January 24), Lakers star Anthony Davis (trade-eligible on February 6), and Pistons forward Kevin Knox (trade-eligible on Feb. 8).
There are also several players who won’t become trade-eligible prior to this season’s February 8 deadline, including stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, and Jaylen Brown. Players on 10-day contracts are also ineligible to be dealt.
Pistons can get Miles Bridges.
It will be interesting to see who gets Kuzma.
I think mavs get kuzma. Mavs officials says the price for j.grant and pascal were too steep
Miles should probably be in jail for what he did.
Yes so should many government officials too. But those with upper status rarely face jsil time.
Hachimura and Grant are the 2 names that are interesting and actually seem to be available
We should have an active trade market this year. The Wizards Spurs Blazers and Pistons all have some Vets who can help other teams.
A fire sale is expected in Portland, Grant, Thybulle, Simons and Brogdon don’t fit the youth timeline of Scoot and Sharpe. All are xpected to be gone soon with the exception of Brogdon, who is an unselfish player and likes his role as mentor and 6th man.
Kings get Kuzma for Mitchell & Barnes plus first round picks in ’26 and ’28?
