The NBA trade deadline for the 2021-22 season is February 10th but a sneaky important date is upon us, December 15th. Why? A large amount of players that signed with teams this latest offseason will be eligible for trade. It’s quietly one of the most important dates of the year. Teams that have buyer’s remorse, or are looking at someone they missed on in free agency, have a second chance to retool their roster.
It’s no coincidence that as we are approaching the 15th, we’re starting to see multiple trade rumors like renewed Ben Simmons rumors like this one today.
