I spent most of the day on the run and away from the internet, so when I read “Davis Bertans traded” I stood for a moment in disbelief before my fingers would find the keys on my phone to disseminate what had just happened.
If you are like me, getting vested in Spurs players and then watching them go is the least enticing aspect of fandom. Watching a player get traded is sometimes painful. I appreciate that the Spurs generally take a player up a notch and really develop the talent. Seeing them send someone away hits the nerve associated with betrayal and giving up.
