There's one you can rely on when it comes to free agency in 2017: a good emoji battle between players.
Rudy Gobert started things on Saturday night, telling everyone how he felt about the other teams trying to sign free agent forward Gordon Hayward.
As we know in Boston, Isaiah Thomas isn't shy about causing a stir on social media. So I.T. reminded Gobert how many championships the Celtics and Heat have between them.

Then Heat center Hassan Whiteside weighed in with a championship tweet of his own.
