Only one that comes to mind not mentioned yet is when Johnny Damon left the Sox for the Yanks.

Probably someone like Dwight, Chris Paul, Carmelo - guys who were actively facilitating trades while still playing for the team that they were trying to leave behind.

Dwight in Orlando seems like a really good one. Though admittedly I don't know any die-hard Magic fans so I'm not totally sure if they waited til he was officially gone to LA before really hating him
