Often times professional athletes know they are on the trading block. Other times a trade can happen so quickly and come from left field that one too many missed calls and the trade is done without you being aware at all. This is what almost happened to Derrick Rose according to TheCycleMedia.com.
“My phone was ringing and ringing, but I had no idea. It was on silent. I was in the middle of an interview, cameras on me. I couldn’t make this up: I was talking about Chicago. The city, the basketball scene I came up in. How that city raised me, made me the man I am today. A few minutes later I peeked at it and saw the notifications — missed calls, text messages, voicemails, all from my agent BJ. I called back and he told me: I was about to be traded to the New York Knicks.”
