just wanted to address that families fight,” Brunson said. “Things were said. I mean, s*** should’ve been handled better on both sides but here we are. Everyone thinks the world’s crumbling… It is what it is at this point. But I just feel like it should’ve been handled way better.”
Hart, who has been traded thrice in his career, then shared what it’s like to play against a former team, which is what DiVincenzo was doing that night.
“As a seasoned tradee, you try not to take things personally because things are the business,” Hart said. “But there’s a human side to it… When you get traded, sometimes you feel unwanted, so you always have a personal side to it. And then whenever you play that team – whether it’s the preseason or whatever – you go at that team. It’s always personal for you.
Hart admitted he had hoped that everything burned down for teams that had traded him.
“That’s the human side, the human nature to the business,” Hart stated. “… But you don’t realize we are actual people. We have emotions, we have feelings, so it’s always a little bit personal. But at the end of the day, it’s always love because you’ve grown relationships and you went through adversity with those people.”
