Hopefully, you own an NBA general manager's hat for all 30 teams.
The league's unofficial trade season begins next Thursday. That's when most players who signed new contracts over the offseason can be dealt, increasing the pool of available names by more than 100.
Not every team will be aggressive working the phones. Some have no reason to rock the boat. Others lack the assets to make a splash. But many of the association's general managers are already working feverishly, scouring the market for upgrades, both minor and drastic.
Coming up with a trade target for every squad feels right this time of year. To keep things interesting, we won't repeat a name once it's used. We also won't force an issue—if a team doesn't have the assets to strike a deal of any kind, there will be no suggestion.
Trade parameters will be outlined in every instance. The returns for every team have to be realistic and are independent of players who were discussed in other scenarios. Assume all deals that include those on new contracts will go through after Dec. 15 or whenever the affected player is eligible to be sent packing.
