Players face trade restrictions after signing veteran extensions
Summary

Players who sign veteran extensions may encounter trade restrictions based on specific contract terms. A player cannot be traded for six months if their new deal includes a first-year raise of 20%, an annual raise greater than 5%, or is for at least four years. Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns are mentioned as athletes whose extension numbers do not affect their trade eligibility. This information is relevant for the upcoming season as teams look to navigate their rosters and contract negotiations.
