NBA Summer League The NBA Summer League is a series of off-season competitions during which National Basketball Association teams come together to try out different summer rosters instead of their regular season line-ups. The summer teams typically consist of a mix of rookies, second year players, and unsigned free agents. The current summer league consists of three separate leagues: the Las Vegas Summer League, the Utah Jazz Summer League, and the Orlando Pro Summer League.
Trade (sports) The National Basketball Association's deadline falls on the 16th Thursday of the season (usually in mid-February) at 3pm Eastern Time.[12][13] The deadline for the 2011-12 season was on March 15, 2012 due to the 2011-12 NBA lockout.[14] In the NBA, post-deadline trades are forbidden, although teams are allowed to sign free agents and call up players from the G-League until the end of the regular season.[13]
