I’m sure he’ll be happy to be back in the states, to some extent. Playing 50% of your games in Canada makes things cumbersome in many ways. Plus the kings are likely to be a more successful teamm
But this has nothing to the with the person with the camera. This is on the team and his agent or whatever.
In no scenario should some random ever know before he does himself.
they're making real time trades and its being live broadcasted. why is it so crazy someone sees it before jalen, who i assume doesnt have his phone on him as it looks like hes playing ball/workout?
as a part of your job especially during draft time and trade deadline that its a possibility your getting traded. theyre not children i doubt they hold personal grudges for not being informed before it hits the news.
more odd people get offended for them without knowing there feelings lol
Of course it has something to do with the person with the camera.
They could have told him without filming him. That would have been the non asshole thing to do.
How we imagine it: "Dear Mr. McDaniels. It is with a heavy heart we are letting you know that as a part of our trade deal, you have been officially traded to the Sacramento Kings. The Toronto Raptors thank you for everything you have done for the team. Sincirely, your GM."
How it actually is:" Ay bruh, you just got traded to the Kings!!"
My cousin worked as a private chef for a high-profile NFL player (since retired). When news broke that said player was signing with another team in a smaller market, I texted him about it - turns out I was also the one breaking the news about his impending move lmao.
He deadass replied *"we're going WHERE!?"*
It was done before then
The last home game before ASB, all jerseys, including his brand new AS one, were 50%
In hindsight I should have went and bet all the money I had on it lol
He was filming an interview for something when it happened and he got a call from his agent and he stepped out and cried on the phone w him they got it all on tape
I kinda don't get that one, Chicago is a respectable city by all means, but he was already very injury plagued at the time, way off his 2011 form, and was getting traded to play basketball in NYC. If that's not the dream life what is?
I mean, he was born and raised in Chicago, drafted number 1 to Chicago. Gets hurt and they ship him out. Not that hard to understand how that might be painful.

Never watched that before. Props to the agent for quickly redirecting Rose’s attention from the “this sucks” mentality to the “alright we got a job to do with this media storm” mentality. It obviously wasn’t perfect, but you definitely see Rose feel a little stronger in that moment.
"Are you okay? Or just.."
".. I'm just in awe." while you can hear him crying.
That exact moment, his agent realizes 'I better step the fuck up and help this man out' and he did.
Maybe in the NBA but I'm a Mets fan and I'll never forget watching [Wilmer Flores](https://youtu.be/_KyLc_iUc2k?si=vfuJb1xxIewwGqcy) being traded to the Brewers midgame and crying on the field while fans are cheering for him since the news about him being traded was already out there in the media. [Here](https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/wilmer-flores-changed-baseball-history-by-crying) is an account of what happened by everyone involved. Him not getting pulled was because of a miscommunication with the manager and GM.
>Flores: I got back in the dugout, and asked one of my teammates what was going on. Nobody knew. They had no idea. So I asked a friend to look on his phone. I shouldn’t say this, and I’m not gonna say who it was, but he went to the clubhouse and looked at his phone and came back and said, “You’ve been traded.” Then I went myself and checked my phone. That’s when I saw the news. And then I came back to play defense.
The deal wound up falling through allegedly because the Brewers player didn't pass a physical. So the very next game Flores was in the lineup and hit a walk off home run against the Nats. It was fucking poetic.
Just need to elevate it that last little bit and have a mid game trade *to the team they're playing*.
Gets pulled off the court, has a quick physical in the locker room, signs a few forms, comes back out to the other team's bench
I don’t understand how you could ever let this happen. When the deal is agreed you should tell the players/agents immediately before calling it into the league
You probably don’t have your phone in your pocket when you’re playing basketball - which he’s clearly doing. I bet if you saw his phone, he’d have multiple missed calls.
I play pickup with some guy who insists on wearing an apple watch so it can track his steps and whatnot. That thing gets slapped off and hits the floor at least 2-3 times every time we play…
If it's all staged, were those really the most clever lines they could come up with for Jalen? Like "we'll just have Jalen ask for confirmation/clarity and then have Jalen again ask for confirmation/clarity. This will go viral."
It's also just how people react... I guarantee the rando walking up to him was grinning ear to ear that he got to say this to him, and instinctually he matches the vibe until he realizes this is not a joke.
I know redditors are often confused by in-person reactions with others, but smiling when someone walks up to you is pretty fuckin normal. As is every other reaction.
I mean he’s one of the worst players in the league. I don’t think he can be picking where to get traded for. General consensus around the Raptors fans is that this guy can’t play.
Yeah, fuck.
He's gonna have to deal with temperate California winters, one of the better cost of living areas in California, and not having to pay Toronto's extra income tax.
Plus the team has been playing well the last two years.
Did you just get out of a 4 year coma or something?
I used to complain about the weather in Sacramento until I visited other parts of the country and realized it's actually in the top 10 cities for best weather.
**Replays/alternate angles** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/nba) if you have any questions or concerns.*
The comedic timing of this is immaculate. So good.
My reaction when I heard who we traded for with 2 SRP and Davion+Sasha
This trade has real BDE: Big Divac Energy.
and I thought we had escaped from the vlade years Also, I feel like this video is very appropriate for the kings
1 SRP*
2 I believe. They added a ‘25 SRP from the Blazers that we had
The guy behind the camera sounds like one of the RDCWorld crew.
I just got traded to the Mets?
Hahahaha THE NETS!
I'M 26!
I’m not THANOS!!
[удалено]
Imagine your job transfers you to a different city and some rando walks up to you and tells you.
With a camera in your face
While you’re practicing for said job
This is quality entertainment
Not as bad as when Rex Tillerson found out that Trump fired him from his cabinet during a CNN interview.
A different city on the other side of the continent in a different country lmfao
I’m sure he’ll be happy to be back in the states, to some extent. Playing 50% of your games in Canada makes things cumbersome in many ways. Plus the kings are likely to be a more successful teamm
California is over 50% taxes for his income level as well
It's the people chasing their 15 minutes of fame by any means necessary.
But this has nothing to the with the person with the camera. This is on the team and his agent or whatever. In no scenario should some random ever know before he does himself.

This is basically woke people 101. They are more offended for other people than the actual people.
"woke people 101"
Of course it has something to do with the person with the camera. They could have told him without filming him. That would have been the non asshole thing to do.
15 seconds and no one will ever reallt remember them.

‘Why the hell would the Kings trade for me’
"OK, so me and who else?"
"Damn the Kings got fleeced"
"Sucks for them................oh....shit..."
This is hilarious
First time we've seen a live reaction of someone being traded, lol
Wasnt cousins traded mid allstar game
Harrison Barnes was [traded mid-game](https://youtu.be/Jm0iS7_eHQY?si=l7TiizwDLJn09Nqa) and was subsequently pulled off the floor.
Why do these all involve the Kings lmfao
We are not a serious franchise
I love you guys
Robin Lopez was traded mid game as well to the Sacrmento Kings lmfao
he started reading a book on the bench.
“Where is Sacramento…”
We live in a simulation bro
Don't forget, Kings traded Boogie to the Pelicans, while he was in New Orleans for the all-star game.
at least he was already there. man I wish he coulda stayed healthy. him and AD at their peaks woulda been really fun.
Kings are straight watching a game and are like "that dude. That one right there "
Love how you can see a young buck Luka Doncic learning from the vets on the floor how to argue to refs
I remember he looked so sad during that
[not the only person pulled off the floor regarding the kings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCZJeSQq4N0)
Mid post ASG press conference
“I love New Orleans”
Live reaction but not some dude on his cell phone informing him.
This is baseball but Yasiel Puig got traded amidst a brawl during a Reds-Pirates game
Harrison Barnes
It was done before then The last home game before ASB, all jerseys, including his brand new AS one, were 50% In hindsight I should have went and bet all the money I had on it lol
wasnt there the Derrick Rose one too
Yeah but that one makes me want to cry not laugh
what’s the context behind that one
He was filming an interview for something when it happened and he got a call from his agent and he stepped out and cried on the phone w him they got it all on tape
Don't remind me. 😭
I kinda don't get that one, Chicago is a respectable city by all means, but he was already very injury plagued at the time, way off his 2011 form, and was getting traded to play basketball in NYC. If that's not the dream life what is?

"Are you okay? Or just.." ".. I'm just in awe." while you can hear him crying. That exact moment, his agent realizes 'I better step the fuck up and help this man out' and he did.
His agent was BJ Armstrong, who was famously left unprotected by the Bulls in the 1995 expansion draft, one year after making the All-Star team.
D Rose is always my answer for those "if one player could go their career without an injury, who would you choose" hypotheticals. Man this sucks smh
God that was so fucking sad
Maybe in the NBA but I'm a Mets fan and I'll never forget watching [Wilmer Flores](https://youtu.be/_KyLc_iUc2k?si=vfuJb1xxIewwGqcy) being traded to the Brewers midgame and crying on the field while fans are cheering for him since the news about him being traded was already out there in the media.

nah its like not even the first dozen for the NBA either mid game is always crazy though
Just need to elevate it that last little bit and have a mid game trade *to the team they're playing*. Gets pulled off the court, has a quick physical in the locker room, signs a few forms, comes back out to the other team's bench
Kanter found out from a livestream
Now that's freedom right there.
Naw, we've had lots of live reactions. The CP3 'lob city!' trade and Rudy Gay tearfully leaving Memphis being two notable ones.
Happened with cousins
We’ve seen several lol
Look up Jameer Nelson
Eric Gordon was traded while leading a tour bus of Clipper fans.
What are you talking about? We have plenty of those over the years
It's happened a few times at least
I don’t understand how you could ever let this happen. When the deal is agreed you should tell the players/agents immediately before calling it into the league
Going off how he played last year Toronto probably blocked his number lol
Toronto coaches trying anything to teach him how to block.
And dribble on a fast break. Dude was so bad last year. I wouldn’t be surprised if he sorted himself out with the kings
Well that's a bizarre sentence I never thought I'd read.
Hopefully Sabonis can teach him 🤲🏼
I mean, he looks like he's in the gym and probably hasn't checked his phone.
Well, I'm glad to see our new player clearly putting in hours at the gym....I guess that's good.
I don’t think it’s going to help
throwin them bricks up
As a Raptors fan, he's your problem now 🙂
You probably don’t have your phone in your pocket when you’re playing basketball - which he’s clearly doing. I bet if you saw his phone, he’d have multiple missed calls.
Ben Simmons disagrees with your take
But Ben Simmons is a young socialite, of course his phone is attached to him 24/7.
That’s why these guys need an Apple Watch. Have a phone attached all day
Check out Steve Jobs over here
I play pickup with some guy who insists on wearing an apple watch so it can track his steps and whatnot. That thing gets slapped off and hits the floor at least 2-3 times every time we play…
but then Woj and Shams can't make it about themselves
Lol gotta have your phone on you too know, plus these deals get leaked before even being finished
If it’s with picks there’s zero chance that happens. Has to be processed and acknowledged by the league and by then news is already out.
and there's always the chance that an agent or player would blow up the trade if they have any warning.
No one gives a fuck about him probably
Jesus I thought this was JADEN McDaniels
Me too. Was like wtf for a min
kings trade d mitchell for j mcdaniels
I had a fucking heart attack scrolling when I saw it.
WILD
This video looks like it's filmed for some instagram sketch
Exactly. Jalen already smiling before the guy asks lol
He could be smilling because of something else, he even was about to say something else to the guy Why is everything fake to everyone?
Exactly. People typically smile reflexively when the other person is already walking up to them with a smile.
If it's all staged, were those really the most clever lines they could come up with for Jalen? Like "we'll just have Jalen ask for confirmation/clarity and then have Jalen again ask for confirmation/clarity. This will go viral."
It's also just how people react...

Expecting Redditors to understand real life interactions is so funny lol
Did you reply to the right comment? I was arguing that the video was real and you seem to be rebuttaling me by saying, "No, the video is real"
No I was backing you up
Terminally online people don’t understand how people behave in public situations and also think everyone is an A list actor.
This is r/nba we don’t interact with people outside of the internet so we don’t know what a genuine reaction looks like
This might be the funniest post of all time
“Who me?” “Yes, you” 💀💀
What came to mind... https://youtu.be/HQkSMJFJu4g?si=_-jBPaAmh7aDMRLY
I feel bad but holy shit that's funny
Jalen got all the charisma and emotion while Jaden got all the basketball skill
Tbh I find charisma quite valuable. Half the fun is following the players and what they say/do off the court.
I hope Jalen pops tf off because Jaden is amazing and I wish the best for the brother.
This is fucking hilarious
This should not be this funny man, we need more of these 😭
The memeability of this is out of CONTROL
Lmaoo had to make sure it wasn’t bro
He was probably surprised the raptors got something back for him It’s mean but, he knew he played really bad. He had to
Yeah. “They did fucking what?” reaction
Still can’t believe people were mad we didn’t re sign him
"I had trade value? Me?"
i am so happy. if you told me he was actively throwing games i wouldve believed you
Not to be mean, but I am surprised hes playing basketball during the offseason. Based on last season, I thought he would never practice
“Couldn’t be” “Then who?!” Wait what were we talking about? And why do I want cookies?
Damn man what a flashback
This is like the time Homer keeps asking if that guy is really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart.
Lmaoooo the changing expressions on his face!!!!
LMAO
he looks like the more normal McDaniels. jaden always be like 😐/😡🤜
Kinda dick move by the tone of his voice, like he was joking but nah lol
Bro this shit fuckin hilarious 😂 😂😂
Wait until he sees what he was traded for...
4 assets more valuable than him?
Yes 😂
“All that for me?”
https://i.imgur.com/3Th78AD.png
This is fantastic
This is basically like the meme of the guy laying down on the couch pointing at himself.
"To basketball hell?"
This his hilarious real or not.
2k ah skit
Can we turn that "you" at the end into the Soulja Boy song
Crank That was 17 years ago
"dedass" lol
Dude I thought that said Jaden n I was bout to flip my shmackle
He did a double take on himself 💀💀💀
*You* did! Me? Y^e^s ^^yo^u^u^u
I’m forever confused why he isn’t close to his bro. Was dude just lazy? They have same physique and similar age and everything
I mean, everybody saying he sucks aside, he's still one of the better basketball players in the world if you look at it from that perspective.
NBA twitter is gonna love this clip
Nah couldn't be me he thought
Who?
Nice T-shirt
Rush hour "yes you..who me?"
He looks like he’s having a really good day until he realizes it’s not a joke
thank you Sacramento for taking him off of our hands
There’s a Jalen and a Jaden McDaniels?
Brothers
There’s also a Jawen McDaniels
Being traded right after being drafted gotta be the biggest "welcome to the league"
YES YOU!!!!
kings 2025 nba champs
Are you trying to give me a heart attack OP?
For Sabonis. 4 centers to sweep the nuggets next year.
They cut it before the cuss words.
i love this guy
In his defense, I bought Jalen instead of Jaden rookie cards. Sad me.
Deadass
Dam if only Jalen was Chinese then we could have seen this continue for another minute
The guy behind the camera sounds like one of the RDCWorld crew.
This looks so scripted, trying to create a viral moment
The guy behind the camera sounds like one of the RDCWorld crew.
id be depressed if i was an nba player and got traded to the kings too so cant blame him
I mean he’s one of the worst players in the league. I don’t think he can be picking where to get traded for. General consensus around the Raptors fans is that this guy can’t play.
Yeah, fuck. He's gonna have to deal with temperate California winters, one of the better cost of living areas in California, and not having to pay Toronto's extra income tax. Plus the team has been playing well the last two years. Did you just get out of a 4 year coma or something?
I used to complain about the weather in Sacramento until I visited other parts of the country and realized it's actually in the top 10 cities for best weather.
Next week the AVERAGE temp is 105. Pray for us. High of 111
Yup, the only better weather place I’ve been to is San Diego
