Throughout your career, you were involved in five trades, including a couple that involved Jimmy Butler and James Harden. How did your thought process change when you first got traded to your most recent one? Robert Covington: I learned that people can say one thing and do another, it’s just the business side of it. They gotta do what’s best for them. My first trade really hurt and hit me because I heard about it for so long. Because I know it’s the business side and the person that I was in trade talks for is somebody that I knew could benefit the program. And if that was the case, I just wanna be prepared so I can prepare for my next phase. And it didn’t happen that way. I harped on that for a little while and I felt some type of way about it at first but then it got to the point where I go because it’s the basketball side of it, and that is how the business goes. -via HoopsHype / November 25, 2024
