The discussion expands to possible deadline approaches and how pieces such as Lonzo Ball, De'Andre Hunter and Dean Wade factor into trade conversations, and why the front office continues to project belief in the group despite uneven performances.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor react to the Cavaliers' 94-87 win over the Charlotte Hornets, a game that felt more like a maturity test than a confidence builder. Cleveland set the tone early with defensive urgency, but uneven effort and a stagnant offensive process in the second half turned the night into another grind. The conversation dives into the heavy defensive attention facing an exhausted Donovan Mitchell amid ongoing injuries, the recurring frustration with Evan Mobley fading after a dominant first half, and what those patterns say about where this team is right now. The hosts also examine Cleveland's thinning margin for error, lingering questions about its defensive identity, and why wins like this may be the norm rather than the exception as the Cavs limp toward the All-Star break.

The second hour of "Baskin and Phelps" for Wednesday, January 21, 2026.

Jimmy Watkins of cleveland.com joined "Baskin and Phelps" Wednesday talking all things Cleveland sports and why there needs to be a fast turnaround for the Cavs to get to where they want to go by seasons end.

"Baskin and Phelps" talk about how fans need to not panic yet about the Cavs and how they're a good week away from climbing atop the East.

Highlights: NFL coaching searches are highly unpredictable, with success often coming from candidates with unassuming résumés rather than just impressive ones. Many elite NFL coaches, like John Harbaugh and Andy Reid, were hired from non-coordinator roles, proving that a candidate's title doesn't always predict success. The rapid rise of young coaches like Grant Udinski highlights that potential and impressing the right people can create a fast track to prominent NFL roles. The "Moneyball" principle applies to coaching hires; despite confidence in interviews, success is unpredictable as the head coach role requires intangible skills beyond X's and O's. Sean McDermott is considered a strong coaching candidate due to his proven track record of building a winning culture in Buffalo and developing QB Josh Allen. Despite regular-season success, McDermott's legacy is hampered by his inability to win a Super Bowl, consistently falling short in critical playoff moments. The discussion highlights a preference for experienced, known commodities like McDermott over high-risk, high-reward "hot" candidates to minimize the gamble of a coaching search. Jim Schwartz successfully turned around a winless Lions team but ultimately had a losing record. The Cleveland Browns' head coaching job is viewed as less attractive ("bottom tier") than others due to organizational instability and immense pressure. "Watson exhaustion"—the pressure to make the Deshaun Watson trade succeed—is fueling organizational turmoil and staff turnover within the Browns. An intriguing possibility for the Browns is hiring a veteran defensive head coach like McDermott while retaining Jim Schwartz as DC to form a powerful leadership duo. Monday's Cavs loss to OKC highlighted a philosophical flaw, exposing their offense-first "finesse" style as vulnerable against tougher, more disciplined defensive teams. The underperformance of highly-paid Cavaliers veterans like Lonzo Ball and DeAndre Hunter is a major factor in the team's current struggles. Amidst rising MLB salaries, Terry suggest the Guardians give Jose Ramirez a "good faith" bonus on his team-friendly contract to acknowledge his value. Which coaches/ managers have the biggest impact on the success of a team: Baseball, basketball or football? A listener asks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Jimmy Watkins examine where the Cleveland Cavaliers are — and where they're trying to go. The conversation centers on the growing gap between the Cavs' ambitions and the habits, accountability, and day-to-day processes required to sustain contention. That lens frames a discussion around a proposed trade from The Ringer that would send Darius Garland to Brooklyn for Michael Porter Jr., as a window into the limitations of the current Core Four and the questions Cleveland still has to answer about fit, toughness, and leadership. From there, the guys zoom out, comparing the Cavs' internal disconnects — between players, coaching, and expectations — with organizations like the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, teams chasing similar goals but supported by clearer identities and stronger cultures. The episode ultimately asks a bigger question: what parts of those models Cleveland can realistically implement, and whether this roster, as currently constructed, has more growth left or is already brushing up against its ceiling.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands, Chris Fedor and Jimmy Watkins react to the Cavaliers' 136-104 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and what it revealed about Cleveland's standing in the contender hierarchy. The conversation centers on the growing gap between a Thunder team operating with championship habits, clarity and edge, and a Cavs group still searching for a consistent identity. The trio examines why injuries can no longer explain Cleveland's uneven play, questionable decision-making and lack of collective assertiveness, particularly from a roster carrying the league's highest payroll. They dig into Evan Mobley's evolving responsibility within the offense, the pressure on the Cavs to play with force and purpose, and how OKC's maturity exposed uncomfortable truths about Cleveland's readiness for May and June. The episode also touches on Donovan Mitchell's All-Star starter snub, the mounting frustration around the Cavs' inability to establish a reliable formula, and why time is becoming less of an ally as expectations remain championship-level.
