Trades are all part of the NBA but that doesn’t mean they don’t hurt. Many players and coaches around the league today have posted or said their heartfelt goodbyes.
Here are some of the tear-jerking reactions:
(Continued)… No words can fully express my gratitude towards Leslie Alexander, the Fertitta Family, my teammates, and all of Red Nation.
It’s been an amazing seven seasons. As I get ready for my next journey, I’ll always be thankful for my time in the H. All love Houston 🤘🏾❤️

Never easy saying goodbye to your guys. Even tougher leaving the people in the community that helped make us feel at home from day 1. Woke up today counting my blessings! Grateful for the last few years and ready for the journey ahead. Minnesota, let’s get it!! #RaisedbyWolves pic.twitter.com/dkG9Fww76n
