I don't know what's the norm in the NBA right now when GM's tell players that they've been traded, but sending a text message?

Here's Krstic's interview for those interested about the trade:

I'll give the benefit of the doubt that they couldn't get to him so they sent him a text, but is it normal?

Better than learning while working out with teammates watching Sportscenter like Deron

Odd. I don't understand why Presti didn't call him in the first place. That seems cowardly to me.

I think being a D-League player wearing an oversized uniform that was the uniform of a traded player on your first day of a 10 day contract and having fans scream at you, "Nice Block Erden!" is worse.

The worst is finding out your star player is leaving your team on a nationally televised parade show in front of the whole world.

Horrible thread.  How many posters in this forum have been traded via text? Somewhere around zero?

Don't take it so literally there, bud.

Awesome. Now we know what Delonte's assignment if we meet the Heat in the playoffs will be.

"Sam Presti, the GM of the Thunder, he texted me, and I called him back and he told me."

Sounds more like Presti texted Krstic to call him about something important, probably after first calling, then broke the news when Krstic was able to get back to him.

Reading comprehension for the win! But, my version of the situation is more entertaining.
