Jarryd Bayless had some thoughtful insight on what it feels like to be traded mid-season: "I think just the transition is the hardest part. I know this is the first time they've been through this. Taking your life and uprooting your life in an hour is difficult. For me, I've been through it so I kind of knew the things that were going to come with that. For younger guys, I think that's the toughest part – trying to figure out that whole thing with clothes and your car and just getting your life back in order. As far as the basketball, I know they'll get up to speed and I'll get up to speed quickly. And just try to get everything else back into a cohesive unit."
