This was one of the most realist trade reactions I've ever seen. You never see how the family reacts to trades, not like this. Big shout out to the Martin family. I wonder if this will even be mentioned by mainstream media. Odds are pretty good he could get traded again this season unfortunately

[@marcelohendrix6139]

i dont think crying when your adult son gets a job in another state is a common reaction. many people move different states / countries for work all the time

[@gdm415]

​@marcelohendrix6139 where did I say it's a common reaction? 🤔 And what's your point?

[@kiresedivaneb]

​@@marcelohendrix6139I think the emotion comes from knowing the struggles of getting traded from his own experience. He doesn't want his son to feel like a trade piece on the fringe of the league. Don't try to equivocate this with someone moving for a better job because KJ has no agency when he gets traded. KJ can get waived tomorrow to clear a roster spot. Kenyon can appreciate his son is wanted by good teams and doesn't have to play on bad Rockets teams but this does hurt.

I remember teaching my nieces to play basketball at young ages. Then they ended up moving 1,500 miles away when their mom (my sis) got a dream job offer in another state. The bond we built over basketball, let alone being family and living in the same town, was amazing. Their departure left a huge hole and was painful. Yet, I simultaneously understood that my sister was making this move to secure a better future for her family.
