After weeks of being in flux, today feels like the official beginning of the NBA offseason. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the league moratorium will end at 9 a.m. PT today.
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.

As Wojnarowski notes, the end of the moratorium (the period when the league completes its financial audit of the previous season) means that teams can trade with one another, but free agency will not begin until Friday, Nov.
