On December 15, local time, players signed in the offseason can be traded, which means that the curtain of the trading market will slowly open. So far this season, the league hasn't made a single trade.
However, the US media found an interesting phenomenon, "No player in the league today has the right to veto the deal." "In the past, trade vetoes were considered a symbol of the importance and status of stars to the team, and players with trade vetoes tended to be the league's top stars.
The last player with trade veto power was Lakers veteran Pope, who now plays for the Wizards, who automatically won because he signed 1+1 contracts with the Lakers consecutively. The reason for this is that the coalition has a substitute for the trade veto — the upper veto.
It's seen as a new patent for the league's top stars, with Simmons on the 76ers and Irving on the Nets as its pioneers. In the past, players often learned from the news that they were being traded, which made them feel very insecure, so the league set up a trade veto power for top stars. Today, that has changed, with the top stars being cash cows, teams scrambling to get them and not easily sending them away. On the other hand, players who live on the bottom salary need to trade veto rights to protect their lives.
At the moment, the vast majority of players in the league qualify for trades, but don't expect trades to happen right away. The league has not traded Terrance Williams to the Rockets since the Nets traded them to the Rockets in 2010.
