For the past three years, most NBA fans experienced heartbreak on the Fourth of July. In 2015, LaMarcus Aldridge left Portland for a better opportunity in San Antonio. Last year, Kevin Durant infamously broke the hearts of Oklahoma City and ruined the NBA went to Golden State. This year, Gordon Hayward went East and reunited with his college coach, Brad Stevens, in Boston. This holiday, the Memphis Grizzlies experienced the same heartbreak as Zach Randolph left for a bigger payday in Sacramento.
Many fans express their emotions in different ways. Some let that sentiment roll and wear his jersey – what I’m doing as I’m writing this.
