Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Dario Saric says getting traded by the Philadelphia 76ers was a weird feeling.
The Sixers traded Saric, Robert Covington, Jerryd Bayless and a 2022 second-round pick to Minnesota for All-Star small forward Jimmy Butler and Justin Patton. Saric says getting traded is eerie because you don't have time to prepare for it:
“It's just different,” Saric told James Herbert CBS Sports. “You don't have time to prepare, or somebody asks you, like, ‘What do you think?' Normal people, somebody calls them and says, ‘Do you want to accept the job, yes or no?' You have maybe two days or one day to decide. But here, they just trade you. You are like a bag, you know? Like some bucket, you know? And they just move you around. But that's life. What can you do?
“Obviously, in my case, I didn't have time to prepare for something. If it happened like at the end of the season or during the summer or something, it's easier: you've got the time to set up everything, to meet the people, to see how it's going in a new team. But in this situation, it was hard. You know, it was middle of the season, everything was hard. It's still hard.”
The trade was tough for Dario Saric, but he is playing really well for the Timberwolves, who are on a four-game winning streak and 7-2 since the Butler trade. Saric has appeared in eight games with Minnesota and is averaging 10.6 points and 6.0 rebounds off the bench while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from beyond the arc.
