Out of these 74 players, Kessler Edwards, Derrick Jones Jr., Theo Pinson, Rodney McGruder, Udonis Haslem, Jevon Carter, Wesley Matthews, Nathan Knight, Mike Muscala, James Harden, Bismack Biyombo, and Drew Eubanks have 1YB restrictions on their contract.
The 1YB restriction only 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.
Which Players Will Be On The Move This Winter?
The NBA is closer than ever this season, with incredible competition across both Conferences. The slightest move could make a team better, even though the names here aren’t necessarily eye-popping. No player on this list of 74 has necessarily been in trade talks but offers a larger pool of contracts for teams to move in other trades.
While he hasn’t been linked in trades yet, most teams could use a stretch veteran center like Mike Muscala. The Los Angeles Lakers will probably include one of their 4 trade-eligible players for improvements if they can, while the Dallas Mavericks might finally move JaVale McGee after signing him this summer and already benching him for DNPs after promising him a starting role.
Players like Goran Dragic also make for an interesting veteran point guard option if the Bulls do end up bottoming out. The team already has multiple young guards, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White, battling for minutes, and if the team is not looking at a good record this season, moving Dragic might be beneficial.
