NBA Players React Hilariously to Trade Deadline Madness

This year’s NBA trade deadline has been one of the wildest and wooliest in recent memory.

The Nets and Mavericks got things started in earnest when Brooklyn agreed to send Kyrie Irving to Dallas on Sunday. Things got much hotter when Russell Westbrook, D’Angelo Russell and Mike Conley Jr. reportedly were involved in a three-team swap Wednesday night.

We reached a boiling point early Thursday morning, when the Nets reportedly shipped Kevin Durant to the Suns in a blockbuster deal.

In other moves, the Raptors reportedly moved to acquire Jakob Poeltl from the Spurs, the Nets reportedly sent Jae Crowder to the Bucks, and the Nuggets reportedly hatched a deal to pry Thomas Bryant from the Lakers.

Whew.

With all those players and more changing teams, the reactions on social media were plentiful. Below are some of the best ones from current NBA players.
