Among the list of key dates on this year’s NBA calendar, Thursday, Dec. 15 stands as one of the most important.
While teams have had the ability to execute trades all season, Dec. 15 marks the unofficial beginning of trade season. Why? Because on Dec. 15, over 70 players that signed contracts in the 2022 offseason became eligible to be traded.
Of course, different contract stipulations bring about different trade restrictions and there are a number of players that are still ineligible to be moved, but the large new group of eligible players means that teams will have more negotiating flexibility and power on the trade market.
Just how many players are now trade-eligible? Below, find a full list of players that can now be included in deals, as well as their salary for the 2022-23 season.

Which NBA players become trade eligible on Dec. 15?
Of the most notable players are the two highest-paid on the list: Philadelphia’s James Harden and New York’s Jalen Brunson, neither of whom are likely to be moved.
Among players worth monitoring in trade talks are:
- Chicago’s Goran Dragic and Andre Drummond, should the struggling Bulls part ways with veterans
- Dallas’ JaVale McGee, who has fallen out of the team’s rotation
- Los Angeles’ Damian Jones and Juan Toscano-Anderson, in the event the Lakers need to match salary in a trade
- Utah’s Collin Sexton, if the Jazz take on the role of sellers to focus on the future
