WELCOME TO NO TRADE CLAUSE

Our team of Sports Business Classroom alumni came together to create a comprehensive resource surrounding the business of basketball. Here you will find a one-stop shop for transactions, draft capital, contract/league deadlines, upcoming free agents, and salary cap figures for all 30 teams. NTC’s objective is to provide easily digestible insights for fans, NBA executives, and everyone in between – in the aforementioned categories.
Please connect with us on social media or the contact information listed below. We love hearing from our audience and hope this leads to future job opportunities within basketball in the future.
