To get the teams set for the run to the playoffs. If trades could happen during the playoffs, series's could be turned around mid-series because of a trade. Suppose a team was down 0-2 in the western conference finals. They could trade draft picks for a player of a team that was knocked out. That wouldn't really be fair. General managers should have their teams set before the playoffs.
