If over the course of a few years a team's trajectory changes, I don't see why that should impact teams' abilities to make moves that reflect that change.

There have been trades in the past that have been announced before the player even waives their NTC. I believe it happened with Kuzmenko coming here.
It is not uncommon at all.
