Jared McCain on Daryl Morey's comments post-trade: 'It's definitely tough to hear sometimes'

At a press conference the day after the trade deadline, Morey called McCain "a great future bet and a potential great player," but also said that he thought the team was "selling high" and was better off with the draft picks, which he described as more than a typical return for a starter-level player on a good team. Morey's transparency only amplified the discussion around the deal, which basically boiled down to how to properly value a player who was about to turn 22. "It's really weird sometimes, like, hearing people talk about what you're 'worth,'" McCain said. "And it's because I'm really, you know -- there's a human aspect to it that a lot of people skip over. So hearing stuff that he said in the media, it's like, 'Damn. Is that how you really felt?' 'Cause I feel like I treated everybody with respect and love. So it's definitely tough to hear sometimes, but you gotta understand it's a business and they're doing what they feel is best."
