Re-Sign

The Miami Heat were very fun this season. After starting 11-30, they went 30-11 the rest of the way, posting the second-best record in the damn league for half the freaking season.

If Rudy Gobert is even half as talented at recruiting free agents as he is at playing basketball, Gordon Hayward won’t be leaving the Utah Jazz.

The Golden State Warriors broke ground on the construction of their new arena on Tuesday, which presented a chance for people to both lament the team’s relocation and ask owner Joe Lacob about the future.
