The end of the trade duedate marks the start of the buyout market, in which groups buy gamers — normally veterans on huge, ending agreements — so they can signupwith competitors for the rest of the season. Players have to be waived by March 1 to be qualified for the postseason, however totallyfree representatives can indication with a group upuntil the last day of the routine season and still be playoff-eligible.
