Podcasts about Cleveland Cavaliers

On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse and Justin Cousart, Kevin is joined by Andy Jordan this week to first discuss James Harden's return to Cleveland on a 3-year deal. Why this deal felt inevitable and if the Cavs can make another serious run at the East this season. Next, the guys dive into Klay Thompson's arrival in South Beach. Does Klay bring enough shooting to alleviate Miami's spacing concerns? Plus a look at where the Heat are expected to end up in the East and how they could improve their depth. Meanwhile out West, Jonathan Kuminga is headed to Minnesota on a 2-year deal and Demar DeRozan is headed to Denver. Can either the Wolves or Nuggets keep pace with the Thunder and Spurs this season? Also, a look at why Minnesota moving to the East would make sense if the NBA expands and Andy's Eats returns. Leave to the show wherever you get your podcasts and watch the show on YouTube!

Ken tries to justify why he's rooting for the Guardians "in a vacuum" this year, separate from the frustration surrounding the Browns and Cavs, and workshops a series of college football comparisons—first Purdue, then Minnesota, then Arkansas—to capture a scrappy, low-budget team overperforming against big spenders like the Dodgers. Lima and the rest of the room shoot down every comparison as a stretch, with Ken eventually conceding he's just trying to find a way to be excited about a low-payroll team making the playoffs without sounding like he's making excuses for ownership. The segment closes with a quick preview of Sunday's Browns game and reminders about the AFC North catch-up and Ralphy Velasquez chatter from earlier in the show.

Ric Bucher opens this episode of On The Ball by addressing the backlash to his recent WNBA commentary — including criticism from former ESPN colleague Jemele Hill — and explains why he believes social-media outrage routinely turns nuanced arguments into something they were never intended to be.Then comes the bigger NBA issue: Are teams still being constructed primarily to win championships?The four-team trade sending Peyton Watson from the Denver Nuggets to the Cleveland Cavaliers is the latest example of why Ric believes instant NBA trade grades are nearly worthless. Denver didn't lose Watson because it suddenly decided he wasn't worth keeping. His new contract would've pushed the Nuggets' luxury-tax bill from roughly $68 million to more than $220 million. The real mistake, Ric argues, came years earlier, when organizational dysfunction between former coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth squandered precious seasons of Nikola Jokic's prime.Ric applies the same long-term test to the Celtics' Jaylen Brown trade, the Clippers' acquisition of Max Strus, and other moves increasingly dictated by the NBA's punitive second apron. The result? Instead of asking how Denver can put another championship roster around Jokic, fans are left discussing tax bills, cap sheets and whether Jokic eventually needs to leave.But the money isn't the only thing changing the league. Ric examines the transformation of NBA ownership from locally rooted businessmen who viewed players as employees into globally connected billionaires who may see franchise ownership as membership in an exclusive social club — with superstar players becoming prized relationships as much as prized employees. That shift, he argues, has changed the balance of power among owners, stars, agents and even the reporters who cover them.Has the modern NBA become better at creating billionaires than creating champions?00:00 — Welcome to On The Ball01:15 — Why Ric changed the show's introduction02:20 — Responding to the backlash over the WNBA episode03:13 — Jemele Hill's criticism and what Ric actually said04:49 — The question about WNBA broadcast diversity05:15 — Lynx-Valkyries and the problem with “safe” commentary07:15 — Transgender athletes and what Ric says his argument actually was09:01 — Men's scout teams, women's basketball and competitive advantage10:12 — Peyton Watson traded: why Denver's return isn't the real story11:32 — Why Ric says NBA trade grades are “worthless”12:16 — Why Denver couldn't afford Watson's $88 million deal13:00 — The real Nuggets failure: Malone, Booth and wasted Jokic years14:15 — How close Denver may have been to more championships15:08 — Why Jokic's best championship window may already have been squandered15:52 — Cleveland's tax savings and the contradiction in grading the trade16:45 — Denver's real grade: wasting two prime Jokic seasons16:59 — Jalen Brown to Philadelphia: why that trade can't be graded yet18:19 — Boston's squandered opportunities with Brown and Tatum18:41 — Clippers get Max Strus — but what's their actual plan?19:57 — Giannis, Jokic, Steph and the Clippers' possible 2027 strategy20:25 — The NBA's second apron is changing the purpose of trades21:00 — Denver's “yard sale” and why Jokic departure talk is inevitable21:51 — Jalen Brunson's sacrifice vs. what Jokic may eventually face22:43 — How a new generation of NBA owners changed the league23:37 — Are NBA teams becoming billionaire status symbols?24:07 — From employees to “wingmen”: how owners now view superstars25:03 — Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard and modern owner-player relationships25:28 — How agents and NBA newsbreakers became intertwined26:36 — Why losing old-school owners like Jeanie Buss matters27:27 — What disappearing local ownership means for NBA fans27:40 — Closing thoughts#NBA #NikolaJokic #DenverNuggets #PeytonWatson #ClevelandCavaliers #BostonCeltics #JalenBrown #WNBA #JemeleHill #JeanieBuss #Lakers #NBATrades #OnTheBall #RicBucherSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.
