Not clear on this... On draft night, can the Rockets make trades for players that include potential free agents to be?
I *think* teams not in the playoffs can make trades as soon as the regular season is over. And then once you are out of the playoffs you can make trades. It rarely happens in May, but I think one year the Rockets traded Mike James away in May. Very odd timing. Usually those things happen the day before the draft.
I'm pretty sure once the nba trade deadline has passed any soon to be free agent is no longer trade-able until the start of free agency.
Free agent to be like pat bev?? U can only do s+t if the player wants to go to that team u cant force him. Amd s+t can be done only fter the draft. Also the free agent if restricted must not have signed an offer sheet from that team otherwise he cant be traded there for one year.
