On Friday, 93 NBA players had their trade restrictions lifted, joining hundreds of players who were already trade-eligible. Most of the players on NBA rosters are now free to be dealt, but there are still a number of players who will become trade-eligible in the coming weeks, and a few more who won’t become trade-eligible at all this season.
In addition to Bucks guard Jason Terry, who becomes trade-eligible today, here are the rest of the players who will have their trade restrictions lift before the February 8 deadline:
December 19:
- Andrew Bogut (Lakers)
December 21:
- Aaron Brooks (Timberwolves)
December 23:
- Alex Len (Suns)
December 24:
- Dante Cunningham (Pelicans)
December 25:
- Bobby Brown (Rockets)
December 27:
- Dwyane Wade (Cavaliers)
January 10:
- DeAndre Liggins (Bucks)
January 15:
- Cristiano Felicio (Bulls)
- JaMychal Green (Grizzlies)
- Blake Griffin (Clippers)
- Jrue Holiday (Pelicans)
- Serge Ibaka (Raptors)
- Andre Iguodala (Warriors)
- Joe Ingles (Jazz)
- Kyle Korver (Cavaliers)

January 19:
- Richard Jefferson (Nuggets)
January 22:
- Jameer Nelson (Pelicans)
Of those players, Len, Cunningham, Brown, Mirotic, and Porter have the ability to veto trades, joining a select group of NBA veterans that have some form of no-trade clause. Those players can’t be dealt this season without their approval.
Additionally, there are several other players who can’t be dealt before the 2018 trade deadline under any circumstance. Here’s that list:
- LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs)
- Isaiah Canaan (Suns)
- Tyler Cavanaugh (Hawks)
- Robert Covington (Sixers)
- Stephen Curry (Warriors)
- James Harden (Rockets)
- Mike James (Suns)
- Norman Powell (Raptors)
- Josh Richardson (Heat)
- John Wall (Wizards)
- Russell Westbrook (Thunder)
In total, there are 37 players on NBA rosters who still aren’t trade-eligible as of December 18. That’s less than 10% of the league, so these restrictions likely won’t limit teams significantly, but they’re still worth keeping in mind as the deadline approaches.
