On January 16, Beijing time, less than a month before the trade deadline, and today 16 players are eligible to trade, salary expert Bobby Marks said that 96% of the players in the league can be traded.
The 16 players are John Collins, Horton Tucker, Duncan Robinson, Trent Jr., Norman Powell, Bruce Brown, Terrence Davis, Holmes, Payne, Korkmaz, Hart, McConnell, Reggie Jackson, McLaughlin, Vanderbilt and Nouaba. The Nets' Brown and Lakers' Horton Tucker names appear in it. This means that the two of them can be officially put into the trade from today onwards.
The Nets' Brown didn't get caught up in a lot of trade rumors and he could defend multiple positions. So far this season, Brown has played 32 games, averaging 6.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 48.7 percent from the field. Compared to Brown, the Lakers' Horton Tucker is embroiled in more trading rumors. After all, the Lakers have limited trading chips, but whenever they want to change a higher-paying star, Tucker is an inevitable chip. Today his trading restrictions have been lifted, will he be sent away by the Lakers?
So far this season, Horton Tucker has played in 26 games, averaging 10.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 40.9 percent from the field, 24.7 percent from three-point range and 82.1 percent from the free throw line. Previously, there were reports that the Lakers were interested in the Pistons' Grant, the Pacers' Turner, and the Raptors' Trent Jr., and in exchange for any of these three, Tucker basically had to be included in the offer, and Trent Jr. was also eligible to trade from today.
Of the 16 players who have just lifted the trade restrictions, the biggest name is undoubtedly the Hawks' John Collins. Collins has averaged 17.4 points and 7.9 rebounds so far this season, and he and the Hawks have not been able to negotiate a contract extension and may be sent away before the deadline, and the Hawks currently only regard Trae Young and Capela as non-selling.
