Trade rumors are fun for NBA fans. They’re not as enjoyable for the league’s players.
Think about it. You’d like to know where you’re going to be living for the foreseeable future, right? If you were hearing rumors that you’d be forced to leave your home, would you be unsettled?
At the same time, it’s part of the business. Most NBA players are living their dream. Getting traded is no more than an occupational hazard.
It’s one that Rui Hachimura of the Washington Wizards is well aware of.
Recently, he made comments indicating that he’s well aware of the trade rumors surrounding his name.
Could he end up playing for the Phoenix Suns?
