such as 923 the fan and Cleveland magazine been around this team for a while super excited to get to talk to you guys about the Cleveland Cavaliers 5 days a week to be your first listen every day that’s something that I take very seriously very excited to consistently L BR be bringing you shows each and every morning um very excited for today’s show where you know I had teased throughout this week wanting to do a a mailbag type of thing because one you guys don’t know me very well yet and that’s something that we’re changing here I want you guys to get to know me I want to get to know you guys too um I I want to get to know who you guys are I want to get to know what you guys care about when it comes to this basketball team and really today I wanted to take as an opportunity to answer some of the questions that you guys have both about the Cavaliers about the NBA and about me because this is something that you know this is going to last I’m going be around doing this for a long time so I really want you guys to have the opportunity to get to know me so we’re going to start off um first question coming from double te can you rank the small forward options that are best available and most likely to propel the Cavs to the finals uh brings up Brandon Ingram Jimmy Butler McCall Bridges Gary Trent J Gary Trent Jr Denny NAIA and Paul George so Double T from that list I think Paul George is like the absolute dream um I don’t necessarily know what the avenue to get Paul George on the team would be I think that his game would absolutely be perfect I felt that way back in you know the 2017 off season when the Cavaliers were rumored to uh you know be in trade discussions to land Paul George out of Indiana we know he would ultimately be traded to OKC and now finds himself on the clippers but he for me would be that number one option where if there’s a way for that to make happen and I get that he’s a little bit later in his career I get that he’s dealt with some health stuff and I get that he costs a lot of money as he hits free agency this year I don’t see an Avenue for it to happen but he would be the guy that I would most want the Cavs to land like I think if he if you put him on this roster and to make that happen obviously you would have to send things out right like I I think that it would take the combin of Jared Allen and Darius Garland is part of some very complicated maneuver to make that happen but then you were looking at having a big three of Paul George Donovan Mitchell and Evan Moy I think that’s really really good and really really exciting so he would be the number one guy that you mentioned double te for me on this list number two would probably be McCall Bridges not because I think he’s the second best player on this list but I think if you look at the fit for what he would be in Cleveland I think that’s what sort of propels him up um higher on this list to that type of status to where you know I think that the Cav should be willing to give up quite a bit to land mall bridges in specific I would put him at number two the likelihood of Landing him I don’t know um it’s GNA Brooklyn is a really interesting team to see what they’re going to do this off season because they could go one of two ways they’ve talked about wanting to build from within build a sustainable future all that stuff I think they’re pretty far away from being good in fact I think they’re probably trending a little bit in the wrong direction like they’re going to I think take a step or two back next year and maybe even the year after that so maybe moving on from Mall Bridges and seeing what they could get for him would be a great thing and if that’s the case I think the Cavs should be involved in those discussions that said I there’s a lot of teams across the NBA that would want to be part of that trade discussion and I’m not sure that the Cavs would be able to to present the best package that’s something you know we very much have to wait and see um up next I I think that I would so I would have Paul George on tier one mbridge is on tier two tier three for me is both Brandon Ingram and Jimmy Butler obviously Jimmy’s a great player and he has been in a lot of big postseason moments and come up big in those moments but he’s getting up there a little bit in age the injury stuff that he has dealt with in over the last couple of years is something that does concern me isn’t going to play in a ton of regular season games and I just don’t know that that would be the best fit considering where he’s at in his career I I don’t know that that’s something that really appeals to me with the Cavs but he’s such a good talent that you know if they were to have that opportunity it’s something that you probably should try and make work brenon Ingram I think is a better fit I’m not as sold on the talent like he’s a really good basketball player but I do think that there are some things I’d like to see changed about his game so I would put him on that that third tier with Jimmy Butler next I would would go Gary Trent Jr um I like his game I think he’s a good basketball player I I think he would fit in here and not be someone that you know needs to needs to have a ton of usage right like I think that’s the difference between the first really three of the first four names because I don’t think Mall Bridges us usage needs to be super super high either but the other three guys are going to or need to have a a high usage percentage to really be effective Gary Trent Jr wouldn’t um and then Denny ABIA I would probably put last here he’s he’s fine um I just don’t think that it moves the needle for me a whole ton I know he’s improved in Washington I really liked him coming out of in the draft that year I think it was the oh gosh I think that was the 2020 draft if I’m not mistaken where the Cavs took Isaac aoro uh with the fifth pick I I liked Denny as a prospect I just don’t think that he has panned out exactly as to what that you know a lot of people thought that he would pan out to be over the course of his NBA career but very much Double T appreciate that question next up we go to Mr scholen this was on Twitter pretend that we go into next season not trading any of the core force so that would mean Darius Garland Donovan Mitchell Evan mobl and Jared Allen all remain in Cleveland none of those those players are moved elsewhere what would a move or two that you would like to see us take in free agency or by trading assets B so there are a couple of different guys that I went and I looked at that I could see is fitting in in like that midlevel exception area that the Cavs could maybe try and find if the price is right and Gordon haward is a name that I’ve seen brought up a number of different times I think it makes some sense I’m not crazy about who he is as a basketball player at this point in his career like obviously he’s never been the same guy since that ankle injury that happened right at the start of the 171 18 season like he’s just he’s not been the same guy and hey I get it that’s a gruesome injury to try and recover from but I just I’ve been underwhelmed by what he’s been as a basketball player maybe he has a rebound season that could entirely be the case and I think that he’s probably a pretty solid byy low option um the other one that I think is a good Buy Low option would be someone like to bias Harris I think a lot of people would be pretty surprised if he’s back in Philadelphia after this contract that he he’s wrapping up right now as he hits free agency was just such a massive overpay where credit to that guy he got a bag like no doubt awesome for him but he very clearly did not live up to those expectations that that come when you’re signed for the price he was signed for so I I do think that he’s someone that he might be available on that midlevel exception I think he’d be a good fit he could stretch the floor he can play you know play both sides of the floor okay he’s not going to be someone that needs to come in and really have the basketball in his hands a whole ton so maybe that could be someone that’s available I think reyce O’Neal is a name that we’ve heard here in Cleveland for a couple of years as you know he he fits he’s a a solid shooter from the outside he’s a strong Defender certainly can be um has a great relationship with Donovan Mitchell dating back to their days in Utah together where they were teammates and obviously have been really really good friends so that’s another reason why that pops up there but just something that to to think about something to think about those three names I think are ones if you’re not separating the core four if you’re running it back with that group you do still have to add on on the edges right like not talking about a team that you have to run back everyone on the roster but if you run back those four guys maybe this could be those those names could be ones that can slide right in and you rearrange some things but for the most part it is the same group that very well could be something that the Cavs want to do next year that could be something that makes sense um I’ve got a bunch more questions possible trade matchups in terms of which teams do the Cavs match up with the most I will answer that next right here on lock on Cavs but Today’s Show is brought to you by prize picks with prize picks you can turn $10 into $1,000 in just a single game by watching your favorite sports this summer that’s awesome that sounds amazing right who wouldn’t want to do that well you can with prize picks you can go make a prize picks lineup as little as 60 seconds this doesn’t have to be one of those things that you you know you just you’re thinking about all day and you really really really have to put a lot of work in to get the payoff price picks isn’t like that you can do it in under a minute you just need to pick more or less on between two and six players stat lines their stat projections and then you’re locked in for you know if you’re looking for promotions prize picks they’ve got you covered every week on Tuesdays you can lower select player stat projections which obviously that makes it just a little bit easier if you get just kind of slide this scales a little bit that’s something that can really help you to uh to make the pick correctly and then on Fridays if you happen to you know have a losing lineup which it hey it happens from time to time you can get your money back that’s obviously today’s promotion today is Friday as you listening to this watching this if you listen to it the day of so just something to keep in mind um this week on prize picks for game one of the finals which was last night between Dallas and Boston I really liked luk to go over 312 points and I really liked Chris Taps porzingis to be under 15 A2 points I just thought with porzingis it’s not that he’s not a really good player obviously he is it’s coming off of such a long layoff I didn’t think that he was going to get a ton of minutes to be able to you know reach that sort of number so those were my picks but go to prize picks make your own download the app today use code lockon NBA that’s l c NBA or L CED o n NBA sorry locked on NBA and you can get a first deposit match up to $100 that’s code locked on NBA for a first deposit match up to $100 pick more pick less it’s that easy with prize picks so getting back to your questions that there are a lot of them Andy and North hestad he asked any chance that Kobe Alman and David Griffin currently the president of basketball operations down in New Orleans with the Pelicans and Kobe Alman obviously the president of basketball operations here David Griffin used to be the general manager of the Cavs has now been running the Pelicans for a number of years now finally get together make a blockbuster trade New Orleans needs a point guard and a center in the Cavs needs size and length on the wing to bolt in assets to bolster their draft too I think that the Cavs and Pelicans are Absolut abely a great matchup I really do I think that those two teams match up almost perfectly where what the the Pelicans are looking for they need a point guard I talked about this on Thursday’s show in trading for Brandon Ingram they need a point guard they need a center like I could see maybe it’s a Darius Garland for Brandon Ingram trade that’s something that I think could work really well maybe it’s Jared Allen and Carris Levert for Brandon Ingram maybe maybe a little bit more from the New Orleans side too but I I struggle actually to find a team that is a better matchup for the Cavs to trade with than the Pelicans would be those are I I think that those two teams are almost a match made in heaven if you’re looking for who you want to wheel and deal with I I don’t it’s not to say that the Cavs cancer won’t make trades with any other teams because we know that’s not true but I think that those two teams just they match up so well they both have what the other team is looking for I would I it would not come as any surpris to me if Kobe Alman and David Griffin are able to get together and and make a trade here that works out for both sides thank you very much Andy for the question BP and Pepper Pike appreciate the question who would your ideal choice for the Caps to trade for this offseason small forward be between these options DeAndre Hunter Brandon Ingram Jeremy Grant miles Bridges or Andrew Wiggins so I went through a number of these on the Thursday episode of Locked on Cavs if you haven’t listened to that of this group for me it Brandon Ingram is probably the top guy um he’s obviously not a Flawless player but he is a player that I do think would come in and if the Cavs trade for him would would come in and be a really good fit um the bottom of this list I just like Andrew Wiggins doesn’t do it for me I think he floats around a little bit too much miles Bridges has some you know obviously some very troubling stuff off the court that uh that he has missed time for in his career also the fact that I I think he’s going to be very expensive and is an unrestricted free agent makes that so I’m just not sure I see an Avenue um but you know it’s from a a purely basketball standpoint I do think he’d be a good fit I just think that there’s a lot of stuff a lot of other stuff that might prevent that from happening Jeremy Grant is fine he’s not really a needle mover for me he’s a fine player um you know I know at times in his career he’s wanted to take on a bigger role I’m not sure where he feels like where he feels like he’s at in his career right now I doubt it’s a similar place to when he left Denver for Detroit so many years ago um but there are just guys I would rather see than that DeAndre Hunter is sort of in the middle there too um he I don’t think has been as good coming out of college where he was the number four overall pick as he probably should have been and maybe part of that’s the situation that he’s been playing in so maybe he’s a guy that you know a change of scenery could really really boost his game and if that’s the case I think that the Cavs certainly could certainly could be a really good fit there BP very much thank you for the question up next at Cleveland rocks on Twitter despite what Kobe Alman said if and when the Cavs do sign Donovan Mitchell to an extension how fast do you see him moving Darius Garland and or Jared Allen any possible moves on draft day um I will start with the end of that first obviously draft day coming up June 26th and 27th it’s a two-day event this year which really I I’m not a fan of I don’t understand why the second round of the draft needs its own day um you know maybe the next Nikola yic won’t be drafted during a commercial but you know I just I’m not crazy about this setup truthfully I it’s not my favorite thing um but there’s going to be a lot of movement then there always is I don’t know if the Cavs are going to have Clarity on Donovan Mitchell by then though that that’s the thing maybe he you know they can talk to him once the finals are over um I’m not sure it’s the night the final end or the day after the finals end but they can talk to him right then which that could be if it goes to a game seven like 3 days before the draft like they’re they’re very tightly compacted there so maybe that’s not something they have Clarity on um if Donovan does sign that extension and I know that the Cavs have publicly talked about not wanting to separate things and even there have been privately some reports about you know not being super eager to listen on trades I don’t think that it would be a rush to get these guys out of town I I just don’t think that they’re going to one they’re not under some strict deadline to say hey we’ve got to move you know Darius Garland or Jarett Allen by this date there’s no firm deadline like that so I I don’t think it would be something that’s okay Donovan signed up let’s trade everyone else I don’t believe that to be the case but I do think if this does happen the Cavs would be a little bit quicker to answer the phone um because other teams will be calling calling about those guys make no mistake there’s interest across the NBA for Jarett Allen there’s interest for Darius Garland um those guys are still really good basketball players there’s going to be interest from a lot of teams across the league I don’t know how quickly um the Cavs would make a trade but I do think that they’d be much quicker to pick up the phone once they’ve got just a little bit more clarity on the donov a mitual situation but Cleveland rocks thank you very very much for the question appreciate it appreciate you listening to the show um at ammani Muse on Twitter I love these Twitter accounts where they’re you know the the stat Muse but for individual players I think it’s one of the best things ever so this one obviously is in ammani Bates account and this person asked does ammani get a real opportunity next year with the Cavs and do you see a world where he could fill Caris Levert’s role in the event of a trade so I do think that there’s a world where he gets an opportunity next year um I do believe ammani Bates is going to be playing on the sum League team for the Cavs this year when they go to Vegas coming up next month I expect that to be the case and I know that we’ve seen you know recently we’ve seen videos of Monte Bates working out shooting in the gym his shooting stroke does look a little bit quicker I take all of that stuff with just like several grains of salt because I think that NBA players are so talented and when you see them in the gym in the summer like all of them can look like you some of the best some the best player in the world because they are the best players in the world um I do think with ammani that he does have the potential to be and to be a rotation player in the cap League I don’t think he’s going to be some star player but he absolutely can be a rotation player there obviously things that need to improve and I think everyone agreed at least internally with that with the Cavs in onanii side last year that he had a long way to go developmentally um you know when I I would ask around about him earlier in the season in particular and you know how his time with the charge was going and one of the things that I I got so frequently when I would talk to people about amanii bats is you know he wants to be with the charge because he wants this opportunity to develop and I thought that’s one of the best things you can hear about a younger player especially someone in aanii situation you know where he’s the second round pick in the draft I think he was number 48 overall um and not just that but also that he’s had the spotlight on him for essentially his you know I I don’t want to say entire adult life because it’s more than that but you know he’s been in the spotlight since he was 12 or 13 years old and a basketball player and that can be really really difficult to handle so I actually think last year getting to spend a good chunk of time with the Cleveland charge is something that was able to help him in a big way um you know at someday could he be Caris vert’s replacement absolutely I don’t know that it will be this year but I think we’ll have a better answer at that when we watch summer league coming up in you know a little over a month I think it starts July 13th when we watch summer July 12th maybe but when we watch summer league and see how he performs in that situation that’s something that you know you look at and say okay this guy he might not be quite ready yet but he’s he’s getting close he’s getting close to being ready and I think that is that would be something that you walk away from that feeling really good about his potential future you know as a member of the Cavs as someone in the rotation um just all that stuff as far as that goes one more segment coming up got plenty more questions going to get to um be right here keep it here locked on Cavs up next so CJ asks hey Danny did you grow up a Cavs fan um do you watch other sports who do you support in other sports so CJ I appreciate the question yes I did grow up a Cavs fan um you know I was a kid it really and I was actually talking with people in the organization about this not too long ago just like kind of my upbringing a little bit um I was such a huge LeBron fan as a kid as I think a lot of people my age were you know I’m 30 years old so the night that I always talk and I watched all the Lebron games when I was a kid but like the night for me that sticks in my brain um that game in Detroit May 31st 2007 uh Lebron had 48 against the Pistons in game five of the Conference Finals scored um you know 25 straight to end the game believe it was 29 of the last 30 points to end that game that was the night for me it’s like oh my goodness like that is when I sort of fell in love with all of this stuff so I I did grow up a cavis fan obviously I’ve switched a little bit to a more journalistic route over the last several years where you know I’ve covered the team as a journalist and and this is sort of a mix of that where I can let a little bit of that fan out but I still do you know I’m at games all the time I’m trying to talk to as many people as I can I’m looking at this through a very objective eye because I do think that’s the thing that will bring you guys the best content which ultimately is what I want to do as far as other sports go um you know I watch baseball I I watch football I actually played football in college um so for as much time professionally as I’ve spent around the NBA and basketball I I didn’t play basketball even in high school um I just love the game but I played football in college I went to Lake Erie College um I’m a big Cleveland Guardians fan what they’ve been doing so far this season has been awesome I’ve Loved getting to watch them um I’m a Browns fan as well maybe not quite as big of a Browns fan as I am a a Guardians fan just you know there have been some things I’m not crazy about I do really like Kevin stefansky I do really like Andrew Barry as two leaders of that organization as well and then um I’m a big Notre Dame football fan too um you know that is for me something that it’s my fiance and I enjoy together I I grew up a Notre Dame football fan that’s something that that’s like the last fandom for me that has really just been untouched or untarnished like it it still feels really joyful for me to see when when good things happen there so that’s those are my fandoms um you know I’m a big Sports guy also super into golf um you know I love watching mroy Scotty Sheffer big Tiger Woods fan obviously he doesn’t play a ton anymore um but I’m a I’m a big golf guy too and I play a ton of golf um you know almost every weekend during the offseason I’m playing golf and if I can sneak out during the week I try and do that as well up next on Twitter T how would you feel about a Jarett Allen for Houston’s tar een and cam Whitmore trade so I like both those players I actually really really I like tares more than Whitmore um I thought that e coming out of that draft was a a really good I thought he was going to be a really really good role player and I still have you know decent hopes for both these guys but I think that the Cavs could probably do better for Jared Allen than trading for two guys that I’m just not sure ready to be playoff contributors playoff winners right like they’ve been in that situation in Houston where yeah the Rockets made a run towards the end of this past season but they’re not playing a ton of meaning F basketball yet and I just think there’s a big difference for that if you are going to trade Jarett Allen or Darius Garland for that matter and this is the thing I I very want I very much want to be clear in getting across this if you are going to trade those guys I think it is very very important very very important that you’re upgrading your talent when you do so you’re not trading those guys just for draft picks or just for developmental prospects I think that you have to be trading those guys for players that are going to help you win and boost that ceiling up right now I need to be very clear because I’m not I don’t think that the Cavs should be in the business of trading away good players just to trade away good players it has to make sense it has to be something that makes sense but T very much appreciate the question um Cleveland dog he asks from Reddit I appreciate everyone on the the Cavs Reddit for you know accepting me posted on there a couple of ago really appreciate all the nice words that a lot of you guys had um that was really cool to see uh asks the best food in in around rocket mortgage Fieldhouse so on game nights for me I I think the flower Pizza in there is pretty good that’s a solid option inside rocket mortgage fuelhouse um I think the I I love chicken wings like that is probably my favorite food ever chicken wings or steak so I’ll get the Quaker Steak and Lube pretty frequently when I’m there just because that’s that’s the wing option I love their Arizona Ranch I think that that’s one of my favorite sauces out there um actually outside the building you know there’s some good stuff I like bario um you know I like their tacos there’s a lot of good stuff on East forth I like jy’s pizza I think that they do a really good job over there especially when you can get it by the slice actually if you’re in the area I think that’s a really good lunch option as well um I I very much do like that um but thank you very much for the question um are lucky asks if we do trade Donovan Mitchell do you think Houston is a viable trade partner considering they have assets you know such players like green Thompson Whitmore een and a ton of first round picks that you know aren’t their own um I believe they have most of Brooklyn’s first round picks from that James Harden trade a number of years ago I actually so from a Cav standpoint I don’t think that this is a bad idea a lot of those players while they’re a little bit on the younger side if you are moving on from Donovan Mitchell which I don’t expect to happen but if the Cavs are moving on from him this off seon then maybe it does make sense to you’re not rebuilding obviously because you still have a host of good players but if you are doing that you’re kind of resetting just a little bit you’re your window for right now probably closes but it pushes that window out further along so you can take a chance on some of these younger guys I do think that they’re probably could be a pretty compelling trade package that Houston puts together that the Cavs would be interested in but um the thing that would worry me is if I’m Houston does Donovan Mitchell want to stay there because if Donovan Mitchell the Houston Rockets have to give up a lot to get Donovan Mitchell which we know they would are they in a situation especially in the Western Conference are they in a situation in the Western Conference where they’re viewed as a team that could be in the Conference Finals or a team that could be a championship Contender I don’t think so I don’t think that there would be enough around um Donovan there so and by time you know a lot of those guys in Houston that wouldn’t be part of this trade depending on what it is like an alaran shenon or you know whoever is left by time those guys are ready how old’s Donovan going to be what point in Donovan’s career is he going to be and I just don’t know that that makes a ton of sense from their standpoint but I do think that they could put together a relatively compelling package for the Cavs something that the Cavs would be interesting interested in um Vinnie Gates asked which teams do you see as the best fits for Darius Garland and jar Allen and do you think Levert and or Isaac aoro will get included in a potential Darius Garland or Allen trade um I’ll answer the second one first I think that especially in a trade with New Orleans um Caris LT going out could make sense if it’s with Jared Allen I think it makes a little bit less sense if it’s with Darius Garland just because you know if Darius Garland is getting traded I think Caris LeVert becomes more valuable to the Cavs as that secondary Creator I just think that maybe then he could slide into the starting lineup and depending on what you get back like you’re starting five next year just hypothetically here starting five next year if you trade trade away one or both of those guys say it is Garland and Jared Allen goes another deal you could have Evan Mobley Brandon Ingram um Caris LT Max stru and Donovan Mitchells are starting five and I think that five fits together pretty well because you’ve got a bunch of guys that can shoot Evan Moy has the space that he needs to operate um all that stuff I just think makes sense as for teams that makes sense so for Darius Garland I think the San Antonio Spurs would be a great fit too um what he would look like with vikor wanyama I think would be really cool I think it’d be a great fit for the Spurs I think it’d be a pretty good fit for Garland specifically as well well uh New Orleans makes sense for both of those guys um maybe for Jared Allen the Blazers maybe the Warriors I I just know that they don’t have the depth that they once had at that big spot I think he could make some sense there maybe Oklahoma City to push chat to the four a little bit more and I I don’t know if that one if I’m crazy about that one um and I think that the Atlanta Hawks could make some sense for Jared Allen too especially if you know I I think that they’re they could be at a Breaking Point with Trey young or Deonte where they have to pick one of those guys I don’t think that backourt pairing has worked together I think that Trey young with Jarett Allen would be really really good for the Hawks um for Darius I’ve got Pelicans the Spurs I think the Rockets could be a pretty good fit for him um and I think the Brooklyn Nets could really use someone like Darius Garland that’s um certainly I think that those are a number of really good Landing spots for him um last question I’ve got today and maybe we’ll do this again next week uh this is from by Kyle Kelly on Twitter who knows I’m a big golf guy says what’s your favorite Club in the bag so this is something that it fluctuates obviously depends how you’re hitting them um I golf pretty frequently I’m a 10.4 handicap right now so you know I’m not great but I’m not bad either a good day for me is you know the low 80s flirting with breaking 80 um which I’ve done a handful of times right now it’s probably my eight iron I just got a new set of irons this off seon still getting used to them but really really have enjoyed hitting those um you I’ve got a split set of tailor made p790s and p770 my eight irons a p770 club I really really like it that’s that’s been my favorite one um since I since I got my new set that’s been the one that I’ve enjoyed getting to hit the most um really really did enjoy today’s show thought this was a lot of fun I hope you guys are getting to know me just a little bit better I’m starting to get to know what you guys want to hear about what you guys want me to talk about I think that this off season is a really fascinating one I think there are a lot of interesting pivot Points for the Cavs I can’t wait to continue to dive into it be back next week and to start having some guests on too I wanted to do the first week where it was just sort of just me so we could feel each other out a little bit get to know each other plus I was traveling from Florida I’m back now in Cleveland you can see I’ve got a backdrop going on which is a a cool thing certainly an upgrade from what it was looking like in Florida so that is definitely something that’s a plus um but I will start having some guests on too so you can you guys can look forward to that I will be back next week again thank you for

What about Michael Porter Jr. to the cavs in a trade?
Jerami grant would be our best option and Noone talks about it. Could go 3 or 4 long wing can chot and create and defend
Keeping the core 4 & plugging in a guy like Tobias Harris would be intriguing. Now I wonder what Donovan thinks. I wonder who he wants out of the prospective options.
How can Cleveland afford PG and Mitchell.
Regardless what happens. If Strus is back at the 3, we are screwed.
I know he's not a SF, but do you think we could trade DG and Mobley for Zion? Sign OB Toppin?
Mitchell/CPJ/?
Struss/Levert/?
Okoro/Bates/?
Zion/Wade/Niang
JA/Toppin/TT
A new host is such a breath of fresh air around here. Honestly, this podcast had felt dull for quite some time. Hopefully, Danny finds his niche, and turns this podcast around.
imagine LeBron in the SF position with the same core 4!
Old george be great for like a yr 2 max then trash.
Have patience and continue to develope Okoro. Cavs should never sacrifice salary cap space for older players like Butler or George who are still good, but past their peak.
Tired of the attempt to sabatoge the Cavs by trading Allen. If a big man is traded it should be Mobley.
Everone talks golf, how about something different if you drift from Cavs? USA just upset Pakistan in CRICKET😮
I like the new guy, but where is Evan? Is he just gone? He was just saying after Chris left that he wasn’t gonna leave then goes MIA lol
If you’re going to talk about these men learn their names. It is not McCall bridges
I’m going after Cam Whitmore from Houston or Griffith from ATL or kick the tires on Jeremy Grant from Portland
Danny
Paul George at this point would be a terrible fit and would never want him because of chemistry, fit, and age for future of the organization.
