As sports fans, we love trade rumors - the speculation, the intrigue and the fantasizing of a team transformed by a newly acquired impact player. Yet on the other side of that transaction is a player who has to pick up and move. Not just to a new team, but to a new city, house and school district for their kids.
Because a trade, like moving, is about seizing opportunities. But to only focus on the upside is to ignore the universal truth that moving sucks. Except, maybe, when you can buy and sell directly on Opendoor without having to list your place, host an open house, or deal with many of the hassles of having to pick up and start someplace new.
