Social media has been buzzing on a busy Wednesday in the NBA. Players from around the league have reacted to the blockbuster trade that will send LA Clippers superstar Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Patrick Beverley, Sam Dekker, Lou Williams and a 2018 first-round pick.
Among the reactions on social media was a farewell letter from Beverley to the Rockets.

Dekker also thanked Houston, while Texans star J.J. Watt expressed that he was sad to see the group leave.
Houston, thanks for welcoming me with open arms. I gave my all every time I was on the court. Time to get to work for LA! #Clips

Hate seeing @patbev21 @dekker & Lou go. That intensity & passion that Pat brings is tough to replace. Much love bro, will still be watching!
