The Idea of the Heat Trying to Acquire Kendrick Perkins This Summer Isn't Going Over Real Well on Twitter
The Heat are reportedly going to "make a run" at Kendrick Perkins this summer. But no one on Twitter seems to be on board with the idea.
Are the Miami Heat thinking about adding Kendrick Perkins to their roster this summer? Maybe. According to ESPN's Chris Broussard, Pat Rileyis reportedly going to "make a run" at Perkins to try and help solidify the Heat's frontcourt this offseason. Just one problem, though: It sounds like everybody hates the idea.
Even though the Perkins-to-the-Heat rumor is nothing more than a rumor right now, the Thunder center is currently trending on Twitter. And just about every single tweet that we've come across features an NBA fan bashing the idea of Riley bringing Perk to South Beach. Check out some of the tweets that we've seen on our timeline over the course of the last hour:

For the life of me, I couldn't understand why Kendrick Perkins was trending. Then I found out why and still can't figure it out. SMH
So it sounds like Perkins won't be welcomed with open arms if he ends up coming to Miami, huh? HA. Yeah, that sounds about right.
