Earlier today, Matt Watson put together a Twitter reaction in the immediate aftermath of the trade deadline. However, some of the players reactions were not tweeted yet, and now let's find out how those beloved athletes felt as the emotional turmoil washed over them.

Ill write more later but THANK YOU detroit!
