It's January 15th!! WooOoo HooOoo. No more trade restrictions. Blow er up, Danny! :)

Today is January 15th, which means that a number of players who had been ineligible to be traded until this point are now free to be moved by their respective teams. As Chuck Myron of Hoops Rumors outlined last month, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, Ersan Ilyasova, and Jeff Green are among the players who weren't eligible to be dealt until today.
However, in addition to rules that keeps players from being traded until December 15th or January 15th, the CBA also includes a stipulation that a team must have a player on its roster for three months before being able to trade him. That means guys who have signed contracts since October 15th are still ineligible to be dealt.
Here are the players who can't be traded quite yet, along with the dates they'll become trade-eligible:
Leandro Barbosa (Celtics): January 18th
Daniel Orton (Thunder): January 31st
Shaun Livingston (Cavaliers): February 15th
Because the trade deadline arrives on February 21st, players signed after November 21st won't become trade-eligible until after the season. Here are the guys who fit that description:
Jeff Adrien (Bobcats)
James Anderson (Rockets)
Patrick Beverley (Rockets)
Daequan Cook (Bulls)
Kevin Jones (Cavaliers)
Mickael Pietrus (Raptors)
Garrett Temple (Wizards)
In addition to recent signees, players who were claimed off amnesty waivers last July are also ineligible to be traded until July 2013. Some amnesty victims, like Andray Blatche, cleared waivers without being claimed and signed new contracts, so they're trade-eligible now, but the following players can't be moved this season:
Elton Brand (Mavericks)
Brendan Haywood (Bobcats)
Luis Scola (Suns)
Finally, players on 10-day contracts, such as Dominic McGuire, Maalik Wayns, and Josh Harrellson, also won't be trade-eligible at any point this season, even if they eventually receive rest-of-season contracts.

On January 15th 1929, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born. A man who lived a short but empowring others in speading peace and equal opportunity forvall. If he was alive he would be 83 years old today. God Bless him. :)

I mean, yeah... but what's his trade value?
Hypothetically if the 1860s call up the 1960s and offer Abe Lincoln straight-up for MLK Jr... Which side says no? It works in the DeLorean trade machine.

The day Bass has been dreading.

Happy birthday, Dr. King.

Now it's Danny's show.

I don't imagine a 6 game wins streak would drastically change Danny's impression of the team. I imagine we'll still be trying to bring in a better starting big man than Bass... and today is the first day we can really talk about possibilities.

If the 1860s accepted anything less than JFK and MLK for Abe I would be extremely surprised.

I don't think the six game winning streak has drastically changed Danny's impression of the team, either. But, I'm guessing he always liked the team a heck of a lot more than you do.

Now that this little 6 game win streak is over, can we get back to doing what this forum does best... Coming up with unrealistic trade scenarios...?
