Following the Miami Heat’s first-round playoff loss to the Boston Celtics, all eyes are set on their offseason plans this summer.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst recently suggested a return to the Philadelphia 76ers is on the table for both sides. However, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, a reunion seems unlikely.

Two-time All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore is arguably the best player left on the free agent market. While he’s no longer the elite lockdown cornerback from the late 2010’s, the 33-year-old remains one of the better starting cornerbacks in the league. Last year with the Dallas Cowboys, Gilmore started in all 17 games while recording two interceptions, 13 passes defended, 68 tackles, and a 71.2 PFF grade, the 35th-best mark out of 127 eligible players.

It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again. Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.
