ORLANDO, Fla. – The NBA's season of wheeling and dealing opens on Sunday, December 15.

That's because the majority of players who signed new deals this offseason come with a trade restriction until that date. Officially, 85 players become available for trade; and the right price.

Soon, all of the NBA's general managers will descend upon Orlando for the NBA G League Winter Showcase (Dec. 19-22). The primary focus will be honing in on possible additions and call-ups from the G League, but it wouldn't be out of place for trade chatter to follow.

Teams have until the 3 p.m., Feb 6, 2025 trade deadline to make additions or subtractions to their roster by way of trade. Because of the new CBA, trading is not as straightforward with a new set of guidelines that are to be followed.

As far as what salaries Orlando can take back in a trade, their situation is as follows:

In the case of the Orlando Magic – one of two NBA teams with cap space (Indiana) – here's an overview of who can and can't be dealt between now and the February deadline.
