As long as the player clears waivers, he can be traded anytime after July 31. And August 31 isn't the waiver trade deadline; it's the deadline to add players to your organization for the postseason. But the question assumed he wouldn't be on the playoff roster, right? Am I wrong on something?
Plus, if it stood to be his only game with the team, would he have much incentive to "bring his A-game" (a cliche that actually seems apt here)?
