  • This isn’t a good podcast

    No personality at all. Like are we serious? How did this guy even get this job? He’s not humorous, he’s not exciting, he’s not witty or interesting or insightful or anything. I dare anyone to disagree. Objectively bad

  • 2/3 lost

    I gave this a two rating because the host has a tendency to either swallow his words at the end of most thoughts and sentences or speaks in such a way that the end of each sentence or thought is indiscernible. Trying to listen while I’m driving I can only make out the first 2/3 of each sentence or thought. It’s like listening to someone who runs up to the microphone to speak and keeps speaking as they walks away walks away. Then they come near to the microphone and then goes away and go back bac... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Monday Mailbag: Debating Important Roster Decisions and What the Cleveland Cavaliers Draft Strategy Could Be
Q: What kind of contracts do you expect Dean Wade and Keon Ellis to sign in the offseason?
Wade is likely to command more than a mid-level deal due to his defense and length, potentially around the $12-15 million per year range on the open market, but the Cavs would prefer a four-year arrangement closer to Wade's Bird rights value, around $9 million per year, to stay within budget; Ellis could seek something around $6 million per year for two years, creating a tension where the Cavs may have to choose between Wade's higher cost and Ellis's potential upside, especially given strength and positional fit concerns.
Do the Cleveland Cavaliers Need to Pick an Era? Likelihood of LeBron or Giannis? Mailbag!
Q: Is there a realistic path to bringing LeBron James back to Cleveland, and would that be worth pursuing given cap and roster implications?
LeBron remains a potential but not guaranteed fit; the host believes there is some value in exploring a LeBron reunion due to his playmaking and finishing ability, but acknowledges cap gymnastics and roster implications make it uncertain and unlikely for Giannis.
Do the Cleveland Cavaliers Need to Pick an Era? Likelihood of LeBron or Giannis? Mailbag!
Q: If you were the GM, what direction would you take the Cavs given the current core and draft capital?
The host argues you should stay aggressive now around Donovan Mitchell, continue to build around him, and avoid a drastic era shift by fully committing to maximizing the Mitchell/Mobley era rather than pivoting to a younger rebuild that may take longer to reach competitiveness.
Breaking Down What Adjustments the Cavs and Raptors Might Make in Game 5 with Sean Woodley
Q: What should the Cavs do to slow down Scotty Barnes and the Raptors' defense?
The Cavs need to accelerate decision-making, get downhill more quickly off the ball, and use two-big lineups strategically to reintroduce mismatches and keep the Raptors from clogging the paint, while also identifying defensive coverages that keep Barnes from controlling the pace.
Previewing What Potential Adjustments the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors May Make for Game 3 with Sean Woodley
Q: Like what have you thought of games one and two in Cleveland?
Sean Woodley explains that game one was more Cavs-dominant in terms of control, while game two saw Toronto commit to a more aggressive, fast-paced approach; he highlights the Cavs' ability to handle Cleveland's two stars and discusses potential adjustments for game three.
