Sunday Best: The latest from across the NBA on Trade Season Eve

In a dramatic NBA Cup semifinal, the San Antonio Spurs overcame a 16-point deficit to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-109, ending the Thunder's 16-game winning streak. The game was notable for Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama's dominant performance despite sitting out the entire first quarter. The contest, considered a potential Game of the Season, was marred only by intentional fouling in the final minute. The victory sets up a Spurs vs. New York Knicks final on Tuesday night.

The article shifts focus to the impending start of the NBA trade season, highlighting December 15th as a key date. This is due to a new CBA rule effective July 2023, which stipulates that players acquired by December 16th become eligible to be packaged in subsequent trades again by the February trade deadline, bypassing the usual 60-day waiting period. Significant trade activity is therefore anticipated on Monday, December 15th, or Tuesday.

The author concludes by indicating that subsequent information will detail the latest trade rumors and developments heard from around the league.
