Bobby Marks runs through every NBA roster, mapping out which players can and cannot be traded ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
marks yet another significant date, as 82 free agents signed in the offseason are now eligible to be traded. To get a better sense of the 2025-26 trade market, we have broken down the players that still have a restriction and a team-by-team list of players eligible to be moved between now and the Feb.
4 deadline. Not every trade-restricted player becomes eligible to be moved on Dec. 15. Here are the players who still will have some kind of restriction preventing them from being traded and an explanation on the different restrictions.The majority of players that signed a contract in the offseason have a Dec. 15 trade restriction. The Jan. 15th restriction is for free agents that signed with their own team and a contract that is 120% greater than the previous season. For free agents like the Kings'that signed after Sept.15, the restriction is three months after they signed their contract. There is a group of 13 players, including the Lakers', that either signed an extension or had their contract renegotiated and have a six-month restriction from the date the contract was executed. The restriction is because the extension and remaining years left on the original contract exceeds three seasons and the percentage increase is more than 5%. The Thunder'sThis restriction applies if a free agent signs a one-year contract and will have Bird rights with his current team when he becomes a free agent. A player can still be traded but must consent to the deal. If he does, the Bird rights do not transfer to his new team. The 2023 CBA introduced a new clause that players are now allowed to waive the one-year bird restriction in their contract. As part of signing his contract with Golden State,A player that was acquired in a trade cannot be aggregated with another contract for a period of two months. However, if a player is traded on or before Dec. 16, the acquiring team can trade play by the deadline. There are no players that have an aggregate restriction.For players still on their rookie deals before an extension kicks in, the NBA counts their fourth-year salary as outgoing money and the average of the extension amount and last year of their rookie contract as incoming money. One example: the Rockets'. would count as $12.3 million in outgoing salary for the Warriors but $22.4 million for an acquiring team. There has not been a player traded since February 2008 that had a poison pill provision in his contract.are the only NBA players that have a "true" no trade clause. Both players were eligible to negotiate the clause in their contract because they played eight years in the NBA and four with the team signing with.A player drafted in the first-round and had their third year or fourth year team option declined is still eligible to be traded. However, for example: If the Magic tradedTeams like the Celtics , Jazz , Heat , Pistons , Pelicans , Wizards , Hawks have large trade exceptions and can acquire a player without sending back salary because of it. A team that has hard capped themselves at either apron are not allowed to use the trade exception if it leaves them over. Despite being over the first apron, Boston is allowed to use the exception because it was created after July 1. The Cavaliers created a trade exception in the previous season but are not allowed to use it because they are now over the second apron. The Mavericks have an $11 million trade exception but are not allowed to use it because they would exceed the second apron. A team that did not use a signing exception this summer are allowed to acquire a player using the non-tax, biannual and room exception. Another rule to keep an eye on is that players that signed a veteran minimum exception, such asNote: Young has a 15% trade bonus of $394,440 that is included in his salary this season if traded.
