Players Who Became Trade Eligible Today

Twenty-one more players became eligible to be traded today, although in some cases it’s academic as LeBron James, DeMar DeRozan, Andre Drummond and a few others obviously aren’t going anywhere.

Most players who sign during the offseason are able to be traded on December 15th, or three months after their signing dates. But there’s a separate group who have to wait until January 15th because they meet specific criteria: Not only did they re-sign with their previous team this offseason, but they got a raise of at least 20%, their salary is worth more than the minimum and their team was over the cap, using Bird or Early Bird rights to sign them.

In addition, there are a handful of players who still have trade restrictions in effect.

Here’s the list of players who officially became trade eligible today:

Note: Players marked with an asterisk also have the ability to veto trades during the 2016/17 league year.
