Why, you ask?
Well, because Dec. 15 was the first day that many players who signed contracts in the offseason were eligible to be traded. That date doesn’t apply to all players who signed a new deal but it applies to the majority of players.
However, there are some free agent signees whose trade ineligibility lasts for an extra month. These players below all met a specific set of criteria, per Hoops Rumors.
