A proposal has been made to change the timing of free agent signings. This plan would allow signings to occur during a few weeks in December and then resume in early February. A trade ban would be in effect during the period between these signing windows. The goal is to create a burst of offseason activity.

Further details about the proposal are available, including the conditions under which it would be implemented. A statement was released regarding the potential benefits of the plan, which is linked to the adoption of a salary cap system.

The proposal was recently presented to the players' association, and more information can be found through the original source.
