randawg91 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Just curious, in terms of all of the guys that we traded for with 1 year left on their contract, who all can we actually trade this season? The ESPN trade machine says that we can't trade any of them because we acquired them this year, and I was just curious if that was accurate. Thanks!

Premium Member sturt Posted December 9, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Not prevented from trading the entire season. In fact, I believe certain players can be traded as of 12/15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warcore Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 as far as free agency goes...How many of us wouldn't mind seeing us take a stab at signing Paul George if we strike out on both CP3 and Dwight?He is a legit starter at both SG and SF. Basically he's about to be the athletic version of Joe Johnson that never happened. And if we're going to spend money, it really should be this summer before we give out big extensions to Teague and Smith. If we re-sign both of them and nobody else this summer - we won't have cap room the following summer (because we can only go over the cap to sign our own players). So, we gotta build a serious contender sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted December 10, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I would love to have George. I don't see Indiana losing him (I bet they try to move Granger first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Yup, just wait five more days and the NBA Trade machine should allow you to trade them. [*]No free agent signed in the offseason can be traded until December 15 of that year or until three months have passed (whichever comes later), a rule that prevents teams from signing free agents with the intent of using them strictly as trade fodder. For draft picks this moratorium lasts 30 days. [*]If a team acquires a player in a trade, they are allowed to trade that player straight-up for another individual player immediately. However, if they wish to package that player with another and make a trade, the team must wait 60 days before doing so. We should have been able trade any of our trade acquired players as of September 9th believe. It's free agents that are Dec 15. Here is our transaction list from July. Translation - The NJ players were eligible 60 days after July 11th which is September 9. Korver's 60 days was up on sept 14. Schortsanitis on Sep 28. Lou Williams, Ivan Johnson are available Dec 15. That is unless I'm missing something.
