NBA trade season is upon us again.
On Monday, the league is set to lift the transaction moratorium it imposed when the 2019-20 season was put on hold in March, allowing teams to make moves ahead of the 2020 NBA draft (7 p.m. ET Nov. 18 on ESPN). But the transaction talk is already underway.
With teams reporting to training camp less than two weeks after the draft, there is expected to be a flurry of activity between now and the start of the 2020-21 season. We’ll have a rundown of all the trades here, including grades from ESPN’s Kevin Pelton.
