Theoretically there's not really any final deadline where trades are banned. July 31st is the official trade deadline for two teams to trade with no restrictions. After that players have to clear waivers to be traded.
Aug. 31st is usually the last day for moves because playoff rosters have to be set Sept. 1st. You can still theoretically trade guys after today but they can't play in the playoffs. Every once in a while you actually see a September trade.
