How so? If the allegations began before the league year started, the trade would not have been filed yet, and I don't know that the league would approve a trade for a player that is currently under their scrutiny pending the results of civil suits, and I imagine any team willing to pay a set value in Jan 2021 would change their mind as to the appropriate compensation once March 17 rolled around.

Even if two teams agreed to the trade, it wouldn't have gone through.

Just like if you put a bid on a house that looks wonderful, but upon inspection you find that the house is riddled with termite damage, either you pull your bid outright, or the bid is modified to either adjust for the fix or you require that the problem is fixed before you agree to the deal. If someone offered 3 firsts in mid-February for him, but March that offer was off the table or going to be drastically reduced.
