You don't hear about trades at this time of year, but maybe the timing just isn't right.

The "Trade Deadline" is only a trade deadline for players that you want to play for you that season.
For teams that are already eliminated, that's not a negative incentive anymore.
In fact, every draft day trade is a "post trade deadline" trade, because the next season always starts on Free agency day.
Generally it doesn't happen, because there is little urgency to make a trade when the GMs like to emjoy their little bit of time off.
