The NBA is one of the most unpredictable competitions in the world. Trades happen on a daily basis, and hardly any player is safe from them. For instance, Luka Doncic was traded for Anthony Davis between the Mavs and Lakers when least expected.

Recently, former player JR Smith has spoken about it, and how he cried when he found out that the New York Knicks had traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time.

As reported by HoopsHype, he explained: "I'm not going to lie. I cried. I was in Memphis. I was practicing. We were getting ready for the game and I returned to the locker room and Steve Mills pulled me aside. He said, 'We just traded you and Iman Shumpert to Cleveland'," Smith noted.
