We always have the deadline then there are trades done for a couple weeks after.

This is where you can trade any one any where provided there's no ntc's involved.

The second trade deadline is the waiver deadline.

you have to put players you want to trade on waivers, if they're claimed, you can trade the player to that team, let him go outright, or pull the player entirely but they can't be put back on.

The deadlines are a month apart.
