Alonzo Mourning wrote:“This is going to be even more special. I think this is going to be even more special considering how it all fell apart,” Alonzo Mourning told the Palm Beach Post, referencing the departures of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh’s health.

“Rebuilding. He’s one of the greatest basketball architects on the face of the earth. He knows what it takes to win. He knows what to do when it pertains to developing a champion. We’ve seen him do it time and time and time again. I trust this will be no different.”

ENTER RUDY GAY

What do we think about Caldwell-Pope? Just realized the guy is only 24.

Let's redirect our focus on dumping McRoberts

Hell I wouldn't have given Gay a big offer even before his injury. His game is detrimental to team ball and what the current NBA is about. No team he's ever been a featured player on has ever gone anywhere.

Spoiler:

Watch on YouTube

is this you JAY?

yeah, never a big fan of GAY though he's hit some big shots and has tools to be a great player.

lmao legendary part of Raptors lore. Yeah, Gay also hit some big shots when he was with us, but the rest of the time he was a black hole on offense and a sieve on defense despite all his athleticism. Raps went from a lottery team to the playoffs simply by dumping him.

Heat should focus on bringing back JJ and Waiters.

okay I don't like this guy anymore, I don't mind you making the best decision for yourself but quick blue balling us when the truth has already been reported by credible journalists.

Gordon Hayward is a good player, but the song and dance he's put on over this decision for what 4-5 days is beyond ridiculous. All these other free agents such as Blake Griffin, Kyle Lowry etc have taken calls from other teams and have been able to make a nice easy decision. Hayward had to take meetings on separate days, and is now taking a whole other day to deliberate? This is very strange for a guy who isn't a top 5 NBA player, might not even be a top 20 player. You've got to remember, players/managers for teams get talked to for an entire year leading up to free agency, so it's not as if he hasn't had time to think about playing for Celtics/Jazz/Heat beyond this year for the last 6 months.

I think he's signing for Boston, but jeez, just get on with it mate.

Haywards agent said they haven't decided anything after the leak but Woj has been told we're out. Shady business.

I really don't like Barry Jackson. in fact, i want to troll him on twitter. Can someone send me the Sardine Central log in credentials so that i can do it from that account. Please and thanks.

Despite last year being tough to handle with Wade's exit, at least when word got out he was leaving he had the conviction to stay with it

hell no to KCP i dont care if hes 24 the guy shot 39% last year and his strength is shooting lmao
id take rudy gay for a reasonable deal and slot him at sf

pg: dragic
sg: waiters/johnson/richardson
sf: gay/winslow/mcgruder/babbitt
pf: johnson/odebayo/mcroberts/white
c: whiteside

were looking at the 4-5 seed there maybe better if winslow takes the next step we all hope he does and secures a starting spot once he gets back in the groove. if bam can at least give us 8pts and 5 boards off the bench id be happy

With Dion back in Miami partying on his boat. I'm guessing he's signing with us tomorrow. Pat probably told the guys to enjoy the 4th and let Bosh have his day.
