这并没有花太长时间。在圣安东尼奥马刺队裁掉前锋杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 后不到 24 小时，ESPN 的夏姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 报道称，他计划与众多潜在追求者之一签约：纽约尼克斯队。在交易截止日前，尼克斯队曾被列为索汉的主要潜在交易伙伴，但据报道谈判陷入停滞，因为马刺队不想放弃任何选秀权，也不愿承担盖尔雄·亚布塞莱 (Guerschon Yabusele) 下赛季的球员选项。现在，随着薪资空间被腾出，尼克斯队无需付出任何代价就得到了他，而马刺队则保留了所有选秀资产，并在今年夏天依然拥有清爽的账目。

选秀球员与城市之间本有一段美好的关系，如今却以伤感收场。索汉凭借其风趣的个性、搞怪的行为以及场上强硬的球风（尤其是在防守端），立刻成为了球迷的宠儿。尽管在职业生涯的前三个赛季饱受伤病困扰且多次出任非擅长位置，他始终保持着稳定的表现。然而，随着球队整体实力的提升，其他球员的长处（特别是进攻端）变得比他的防守更有价值，他在本赛季跌出了轮换阵容。
这次分手让人想起了 2005 年的马利克·罗斯 (Malik Rose)。他曾是深受喜爱的球迷宠儿，但马刺队为了与更强大的球队竞争冠军，需要在中锋位置上增加体型，于是将他交易以换取纳兹尔·穆罕默德 (Nazr Mohammed)。球迷们对此非常不满，甚至在接下来的比赛中嘘了格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich)，但从长远来看，这是正确的举动，且随着球队在那年夺冠，这一决定很快得到了原谅。我知道球迷们同样对米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 处理此事的方式感到失望，但有时你必须做出篮球层面的决策，即使这些决策并不受欢迎。
至今，罗斯在圣安东尼奥依然深受爱戴，并经常参加城市和球队的活动，也许有一天索汉也会如此。在离开之际，他在社交媒体上向马刺球迷发了一条消息：
致圣安东尼奥这座城市……当我被选中时，我没意识到这里会这么快让我有家的感觉。我这一生搬过很多次家，这是我 15 岁以来在同一个地方待得最久的一次。在起起伏伏中，我学到了很多，不断成长，并始终保持真实。这个社区和球迷从第一天起就接纳了我！这不仅关乎篮球，我永远心存感激。我将永远热爱圣安东尼奥！一切发生皆有缘由，时间会说明一切…… pic.twitter.com/DfToSiSqxn

现在我又陷入了悲伤。谢谢你所做的一切，杰里米。你几乎没花什么时间就赢得了圣安东尼奥这座城市和马刺球迷的喜爱。最后一次，引用那句老话：一日马刺，终身马刺。祝你在未来的职业生涯中一切顺利。

Jeremy Sochan says goodbye to Spurs fans, plans to sign with the Knicks
That didn’t take long. Less than 24 hours after the Spurs waived forward Jeremy Sochan, ESPN’s Shams Charania is reporting he to sign with one of many potential suitors: the New York Knicks. The Knicks were the main team listed as a potential trade partner for Sochan before the trade deadline, but talks reportedly stalled because the Spurs did not want to give up any draft picks or take on Guerschon Yabusele’s player option for next season. Now, with cleared cap space, the Knicks get him without giving up anything, and the Spurs keep all their draft capital and still have clean books for this summer.

It was a sad ending to what started as a great relationship between draft pick and city. Sochan immediately became a fan favorite with his funny personality, silly antics, and hardnosed style of play on the court, especially on defense. He stayed consistent through his first three season despite battling injuries and playing out of positions, but he fell out of the rotation this season as other players’ strengths (especially on offense) became bigger assets than his defense while the team improved overall.
The breakup kind of reminds of Malik Rose back in 2005. He was a beloved fan favorite, but the Spurs needed more size at center to compete with bigger teams for a championship, and he was traded for Nazr Mohammed. Fans hated it and even booed Gregg Popovich at the next game, but it was the right move in the long term and was soon forgiven as they went on to win the championship that year. I know fans are similarly upset with Mitch Johnson for how things turned out, but sometimes you just have to make basketball decisions, even if they aren’t the most popular ones.
To this day, Rose is still beloved in San Antonio and frequents the city and team events often, and maybe someday that will be the case with Sochan as well. On his way out, he sent a message to Spurs fans on social media:
To the city of San Antonio… When I was drafted, I didn’t realize how quickly this would feel like home. I’ve moved around a lot throughout my life, and this is the longest I’ve been in the same place since I was 15 years old. Through the ups and downs, I learned a lot, kept… pic.twitter.com/DfToSiSqxn

To the city of San Antonio… When I was drafted, I didn’t realize how quickly this would feel like home. I’ve moved around a lot throughout my life, and this is the longest I’ve been in the same place since I was 15 years old. Through the ups and downs, I learned a lot, kept growing, and always stayed true to myself. This community and the fans embraced me from day one! It’s bigger than basketball and I’m forever grateful. I’ll always have love for San Antonio! Everything happens for a reason & time will tell…
Now I’m sad all over again. Thank you for everything, Jeremy. It took almost no time to endear yourself to the city of San Antonio and Spurs fans. And for one last time, as the old saying goes: Once a Spur, always a Spur. Good luck wherever your career takes you.
