NBA Twitter exploded on Saturday night when the Thunder traded James Harden to the Rockets for Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb. Here are some of the best player reactions.
When news of the James Harden trade broke, the first Oklahoma City Thunder player to squeeze out a Tweet was Eric Maynor.
It was simple, and poignant. And three characters long.
Wow

LeBron James, whose Heat beat the Thunder in the Finals, is excited for Harden.

Let's not forget that folks in Houston got a shake-up, too. Chandler Parsons quickly moves to practical matters.
Beard me.

Jeremy Lin, who will star with Harden in the Rockets' backcourt, is as insightful as Maynor and Durant.
Really sad to see Kmart and JLamb go...both class acts and great teammates. Welcome Harden, Cook, Aldrich and Hayward to Houston!!

Up in Toronto, Landry Fields has legitimate Halloween-related concerns.

And Matt Barnes -- yes, Matt Barnes -- puts it all in the proper frame.
Understand the NBA is a business, so U always needs to do what u feel is best for yourself/fam, because the second u get hurt they dnt care about you. So congrats to the young homie @JHarden13 #GetUr$$$
