The all-star John Smith got traded to a below-500 team.

The calibrated John Smith was traded to the East team.

Did I use 'got traded/was traded' correctly?

Thank you

Yes, "got traded" and "was traded" are used correctly.

I don't think that "calibrated" is correct, but it may be a sports term that I don't know.

Anyone?

It's "celebrated" for sure.

Thank you.
