When could NBA teams start making trades this season?

The Boston Celtics certainly wouldn’t mind some help in the frontcourt on the cheap.

When a generational basketball talent like Victor Wembanyama comes around, teams will often go to great lengths to have a chance at drafting the sort of player that can change the fortunes of even the most inept franchises through the impact that player has.
