Minutes after the trade deadline passed on a day that sent shock waves throughout the NBA, Gary Trent Jr. was already on the court shooting buckets.
The Raptors shooting guard was the subject of many trade rumours, but as the hours rolled by and nothing significant happened, he knew he could only focus on what he control.
That’s why the 24-year-old didn’t cancel the preplanned public event with KFC at an outdoor basketball court in downtown Toronto, despite a sense of uncertainty as the deadline approached.
“You know that you can be traded at any given time,” he said Thursday afternoon under The Bentway.
