Taurean Prince not fazed by his name appearing in trade rumors

Taurean Prince knows trades happen all the time in the NBA — after all, that’s how he wound up in a Brooklyn Nets uniform.

Right before the 2019-20 NBA season kicked off, Taurean Prince earned himself a two-year rookie-scale extension from the Nets after being traded to Brooklyn by the Atlanta Hawks over the summer.

Fast forward to the abbreviated offseason leading up to 2020-21 and Prince saw his name come up in trade rumors again.

But this time around, he wasn’t at all fazed — even though he’s where he wants to be right now.

“I’ve been in the league for five years, so…I mean, I don’t think, besides this team, I don’t think I’ve ever had the same teammates halfway through the season — on the second half after the first half,” Prince said on a Zoom call with reporters Thursday. “I’m kinda used to seeing new faces, and I’ve also been traded myself. The fear or that or that not wanting to happen, or however you wanna put it, is kinda gone because you’ve realized you can’t control that [after] you went through that before.”
