Bulls' Zach LaVine, Wizards' Bradley Beal Among Stars Whose Trade Restrictions Lifted

Several star NBA players are among those now eligible to be traded after restrictions were lifted Sunday, per ESPN's Bobby Marks:

Most players who sign new contracts in the offseason were eligible to be traded on Dec. 15. However, an extra set of players weren't eligible until Jan. 15 after signing new deals with a raise of at least 20 percent, per Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors. The players also had to be signed using Bird or Early Bird rights to go over the salary cap.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine and Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton are the biggest names on the list, although Beal has a no-trade clause in his contract and is unlikely to move before the Feb. 9 deadline.

LaVine has notably been the subject of trade rumors this season despite signing a max contract in the summer, while Ayton could be worth monitoring after signing an offer sheet with the Indiana Pacers before the Suns matched the deal.

Other players like Chris Boucher, Cody Martin and Jusuf Nurkić could also be on the move if their teams remain out of playoff contention.
