Trade restrictions lifted Tuesday for Brandon Bass, Lou Williams and Marcelo Huertas, three Lakers who signed as free agents during the off-season.

When a free agent signs a new contract, he cannot be traded for the latter of 90 days or Dec. 15.

Both Bass and Williams joined the team on July 9, while Huertas inked his contract on Sept. 9.

Metta World Peace, who joined the team on Sept. 24, cannot be traded until Dec. 24..

General Manager Mitch Kupchak said Monday that the Lakers have no immediate plans to trade any specific player.

“The trade deadline’s not for a couple of months. We’ll sit and monitor our team -- make calls, take calls, see where where we are a month from now,” he said in a live chat on Lakers.com. “If something comes up that we think will help us down the road, we’ll look at it.”

The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 18.

Outside of World Peace’s brief remaining restriction, the only other Laker who cannot be traded, at least not without his permission, is Kobe Bryant.

Bryant has a no-trade clause in his contract, but the Lakers will not be looking to deal their long-time all-star, who is playing through his final season.

The Lakers signed draft picks D’Angelo Russell, Larry Nance Jr. and Anthony Brown this past summer, but the trade restriction on drafted players is just 30 days.

The next deadline coming up for the Lakers is Jan. 10, when the non-guaranteed contracts of Tarik Black, Huertas and World Peace lock in for the rest of the season.

All three are on minimum contracts, with Black is earning $845,059 for the season, Huertas $525,093 and World Peace $1.5 million.
