Today is Thursday, January 15, which means that a total of 11 players who signed free agent contracts meeting specific criteria this past offseason are now eligible to be traded.
Most offseason signees became trade-eligible on December 15, but players who met the following criteria were ineligible to be moved for an extra month:
- The player re-signed with his previous team.
- He got a raise of at least 20%.
- His salary is above the minimum.
- His team was over the cap and used Bird or Early Bird rights to sign him.
These are the 11 players who met that criteria and are eligible to be traded as of Thursday:
Santi Aldama (Grizzlies)- Josh Giddey (Bulls)
- Quentin Grimes (Sixers)
- Isaiah Jackson (Pacers)
- Jonathan Kuminga (Warriors)
- Tre Mann (Hornets)
- Sam Merrill (Cavaliers)
- Davion Mitchell (Heat)
- Paul Reed (Pistons)
- Naz Reid (Timberwolves)
- Ryan Rollins (Bucks)
Most of the players on standard 15-man rosters around the NBA are now eligible to be moved, though a small handful still can’t be dealt.
That group includes Kings guard Russell Westbrook, who becomes trade-eligible on Friday, Hawks guard Keaton Wallace (trade-eligible on January 18), Pelicans center DeAndre Jordan (Jan. 23), Knicks forward Mikal Bridges (Feb. 1), Lakers guard Luka Doncic (Feb. 2), Kings forward Precious Achiuwa (Feb. 4), and Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox (Feb. 4).
Additionally, there are several players who won’t become trade-eligible at all prior to this season’s February 6 deadline, including reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Players on 10-day contracts are also ineligible to be traded.
Let’s GO !!!!
This is going to be the second longest 20 days in the recent history of the Warriors.
Fingers crossed something good comes out of this for all parties involved, especially including the young men changing teams in the next three weeks.
Good thing you said recently. It wasn’t exactly a funhouse before Kerr arrived.
Warrior sucked for 30 years. 80s 90s 2000s. There may have been four exciting seasons in there maybe five out of 30.
*Rubs hands* we are about to see if the rumor of the Kuminga-Porter trade being finalized months ago was true or not…
One thing I think ALL Warriors can agree on, its better to have a $22.5M player who actually sees court time, than one who does not. Kuminga for literally anyone who Kerr will actually play will improve this team and potentially send them to the next level, is always better than Kuminga-DNP.
can’t imagine kuminga is a one for one trade. nets are trying to sell really high
I have a feeling that Kuminga will be a multiple team trade. May not take place right away.
It will absolutely be a multiple team trade.
Nobody wants him, so there has to be more coming to the team who receives him.
The creativity for Dunleavy will be trying to put together a package of outgoing dudes that will help facilitate acquiring a guy that can make a difference for this team.
The Warriors actually need two guys that can make a difference, but it’ll all depend on if they are willing to include that third first round pick at this trade deadline.
I am not sold on MPJ so anything more than a 1st rounder is too much. His stats are going down.
MPJ doesn’t need to be a big PPG stats guy on GSW, he only needs to space the floor, grab some boards and shoot 3’s.
The big rumor I keep seeing as “has been agreed upon for months” is
JK – Kings
MPJ – GSW
Picks + ??? – BK
I wonder if the trade will be announced during tonights game, so we see Kuminga say goodbye to everyone
Who are the top 5 combos of talent, value and production on this list, in order?
1) Giddey
2) Rollins
3) Grimes
4) Aldama
5) Reid
Being that none of those guys are going to be traded, what does it matter?
I’m not very high on Ryan Rollins. Watching him play for the Bucks he is just too raw.
I love Giddey though. Very crafty gets to the hole, finds other players and has great size.
Of course his defense needs work, but still I like his game. He’s a one who will move the ball, yet he can score it for you and he finds his way to the basket quite a bit.
This prediction will be fun to watch.
> The Warriors actually need two guys that can make a difference,
Two weeks ago, I would have 100% agreed on needing 2 guys. But that was before Melton came on. If Melton can play 30 mins per game, this team can still avoid the play-in.
Witih Melton coming on, this is the right time to trade Moody. His value will go down with his reduced playing time.
They really need to get bigger and more athletic on the wing and at PF, especially if JK, Moody, and Buddy are being sent out.
> but it’ll all depend on if they are willing to include that third first
> round pick at this trade deadline.
We’ll see. I’ll be shocked if they trade more than 1 FRP pick away (unless it’s for Giannis). Nobody — not Lacob, not Kerr, not Dunleavey — believe this roster can be improved enough to throw away the next 8 years.
Ari.., Nobody?
I would do it for another chance at a finals appearance.
Plus you’re not throwing away eight years. Remember the Septien rule? You still have a first round pick every other year.
Gary, I’d say “nobody” in the front office or ownership, and definitely not Kerr because he has said as much a few times over the past few weeks. On more than one recent occasion Kerr has describe the veteran core as “fading”.
Kerr said in a televised session last week that he’s opposed to the Warriors giving away future draft picks for the sake of the short-term, citing the Clippers and Phoenix as teams that have made a big mistake.
Before this season, I said there was a 33% chance this was last season of the Kerr-Steph-Draymond era. Today, I’d put it at 75%, mostly because they’ve thrown in the towel on their young core.
You know what, those are two good examples of throwing away a long-term for a big gamble short term.
And we can see with the both of them that major mistakes were made.
Great points.
Kuminga and Moody to Sacramento for DeRosan and Westbrook. lol.
Add picks at least
Let’s go Knicks what will it take to bring Grimes back to New York!!!! Yabu signing was horrible they would have been better off with both players in Sacramento. Precious and Westbrook for the Yabu money
I’m at the point where they need to do something and that means almost anything.
Those two guys are veterans and they might help. They just can’t go into the second half of the season as they sit today.
Naz Reid
