A June 29 option date is a CBA outside date, not proof that the contract lacks an earlier negotiated deadline.

A June 30 contract horizon is a season-boundary planning proxy, not certified free-agent status.

An extension review trigger does not certify eligibility, price, player willingness or outcome.

Historical pick control is not confirmed tradability.

No trigger is an automatic recommendation.

The summary counts calendar events and exposes six separate trigger domains. It does not blend basketball, health, contracts, cap, draft, intent, legality, market value or outcomes into a score.
