The NBA’s Dec. 15 trade non-deadline is one of my favorite days of the year. It’s basically the day when players who signed contracts in the offseason can finally be moved in trades. Every year people pretend as if this opens the floodgates of player movement in some kind of second offseason moment. In reality, trades are almost never made on Dec. 15, and we’re almost certainly still likely to be in something of a holding pattern until the actual trade deadline in February. Is that going to stop me from conjuring up some fake trades? Absolutely not! Onward!
