Created by Venables Bell + Partners, and directed by Clay Weiner, through Biscuit Films, this droll film is an entertaining take on the usual press conference at which a sports star announces a sensational move.
In this new era of player empowerment, athletes switch teams and cities at a moment's notice. In the US, February 2023 may go down as one of the wildest trade seasons in the history of the NBA, with 28 teams trading 58 players.
Building on the brand's Be Open platform, Traded features an outspoken athlete who shocks the press by debating the merits of the trade he was due to announce by decrying the faff of moving. Why would he want to bother trying to sell this house by filling it with "faux ficus"? Does he even want to move? After all he's just made a new ‘dad friend’ at his kid's school and bought a cat.
But maybe Opendoor’s easy house buying/selling platform will change his mind…
