We’re just over one-quarter of the way through the NBA season and teams are falling into more defined tiers. There are the championship contenders like the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers, those who are destined for the lottery like the New York Knicks, and somewhere in the middle are the San Antonio Spurs.
As of today, trade restrictions have lifted on players who were signed to new deals over the summer. This means that up to 90 percent of the league could be traded, according to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor. The trade market is wide open and teams can now start making moves to improve or start a rebuilding project.
