Podcast appearances and mentions of Dean Wade

Lima explains the seemingly contradictory stance that he doesn't blame LeBron for leaving but will boo him anyway, since LeBron is now trying to win a championship at the Cavs' expense in the same conference. He and Daryl Ruiter also air frustration over people in LeBron's camp allegedly toying with fans and manipulating prediction markets during the speculation. The conversation pivots into Cavs roster talk, with Ruiter making a strong case for pursuing Jonathan Kuminga as a needed athletic upgrade over Dean Wade, while crediting James Harden for delaying his extension to give Koby Altman cap flexibility.

The WIP Morning Team talks about the other new acquisitions that the Sixers made this summer including former Cavs forward Dean Wade and former Celtics guard Anfernee Simons.

From batting to pitching, the stars have been aligning for the Phils! This week, Joe Edinger from TheGoodPhight.com joined us for some great analysis that took us into various players on this team and the solid baseball they've been playing.But first, Jeff and Len got into some Sixers offseason talk as the organization traded for Jalen Brown and sign Dean Wade.

Ken and Lima break down the LeBron James free agency chaos after Brian Windhorst's report that LeBron would take below market value to sign somewhere, with the Cavs among the suitors. James Harden's contract opt out and lack of restructuring details are seen as a signal he's clearing cap space to help lure LeBron and facilitate a bigger roster move. That fuels speculation the Cavs could flip Evan Mobley to Boston for Jaylen Brown, even though the front office has insisted for weeks that Mobley isn't going anywhere. Ken and Lima also note the Cavs letting Dean Wade and Keon Ellis walk as another sign something bigger might be in motion.

Ken and Lima debate the Cavs' free agency losses, with producer John arguing Keon Ellis is the bigger loss since the Cavs traded for him and never got to see him developed, while Ken counters that Dean Wade's defense and starter reps make him more irreplaceable, especially if LeBron and Jaylen Brown don't materialize. The hosts also dig into Brendan Sorsby's statement that he'll skip legal action and focus on the 2027 draft, questioning whether he should instead play JUCO ball this year to stay sharp, and joke about him becoming a gambling analyst given his new freedom to bet on college football. They close by speculating where LeBron's first Cleveland appearance might be if he re-signs, tossing around ideas like a Guardians game or a Swensons drive-in, before some unrelated banter about Swensons and stomach issues.

Spike and Ike clash over whether Bryce Harper is truly underappreciated in Philadelphia following his omission from the initial All-Star fan voting results. They also analyze the 76ers' latest free agency moves, including the signing of Dean Wade.

In the 7am hour, the WIP Morning team are joined by Rubén Amaro Jr. to analyze the Phillies' starting rotation and the difficult decisions regarding Aaron Nola's future role.

The Cleveland Cavaliers better have something up their sleeve in case LeBron doesn't actually return because they just lost 2 of their retainable free agents. What will they do?

Send us Fan MailFree agency is one day away and the fellas are not holding back. Coach E, Byron, Zen, and Ricky break down the wildest week the NBA offseason has seen in years — starting with the LeBron James sweepstakes. Is he really walking away from the Lakers, and could a Golden State reunion with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and a newly-signed Jimmy Butler and Kristaps Porziņģis actually happen? The crew debates whether that "Expendables" lineup can hold up over 82 games — and whether Cleveland still has a real shot at bringing him home.From there it's blockbuster after blockbuster: Kawhi Leonard's stunning trade back to Toronto, the Giannis Antetokounmpo–to–Miami Heat deal that sent Tyler Herro packing, and the Timberwolves' bold backcourt swap bringing LaMelo Ball in to pair with Anthony Edwards. The guys also touch on Ja Morant and Memphis's fading relevance, a crowded Portland backcourt with Dame Lillard and Drew Holiday, and Julius Randle's trip to Brooklyn.Plus, the Cavs' offseason wish list — from re-signing Dean Wade to dream scenarios involving Evan Mobley, Jaylen Brown, and even a Kyrie Irving reunion — and Coach E closes it out with another dose of motivation: pick it right back up.

Andy and Jeff discuss the Cavaliers' impending free agents and which ones the Cavaliers should try to bring back.

Chris Mannix reported that the Celtics have been calling around about Evan Mobley as a potential return piece in a Jalen Brown deal, and Ken and Jason Lloyd dig into whether Cleveland should pick up the phone. Jason makes the case that wings win championships, that Mobley has never become the player the Cavs needed him to be, and that Brown is exactly the type of two-way wing that could finally push Cleveland over the top. Ken is intrigued but hesitant, arguing that swapping Mobley for Brown leaves the starting four as Dean Wade and creates a roster of essentially three guards, which he's not convinced is enough to beat Oklahoma City or San Antonio in a seven-game series. Both agree that Donovan Mitchell's relationship with Brown is a real asset in recruiting him to Cleveland, and Ken closes by noting that both OKC and Boston coveting Mobley says something important about how good he actually is.

Per NBC Sports Boston's Chris Mannix, the Celtics' real trade target isn't Donovan Mitchell, it's Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, and Anthony surprises Ken by saying he'd actually pull the trigger on it. Ken pushes back hard, arguing Mobley's talent is too tantalizing to give up and that the move solves a wing problem while creating a new one on the interior, leaving Dean Wade as the team's primary frontcourt defender. They pivot into an argument over whether Jarrett Allen, not Mobley, should be the one on the trade block given how much he's outperformed his bargain contract and helped win multiple Game 7s. The segment ends in chaos when a caller named Will claims the Knicks are overrated two weeks after winning the championship, and the guys roast him for one of the worst calls they've ever taken.

Jeff Phelps and Andy Baskin explore the Cavaliers' difficulty navigating the NBA's salary cap while trying to add impactful wing players. They reflect on the Donovan Mitchell-Lauri Markkanen trade and discuss whether Dean Wade remains a viable part of the rotation moving forward. 01:30 - NBA Trade Analysis 02:54 - Cavs Roster Constraints 06:16 - Markkanen Trade Review 10:03 - Dean Wade Debate 13:53 - NBA Draft Strategy

Spencer Davies and Spencer German return to assist with the mock offseason.

Ken and Nick bring in Danny Cunningham to break down the Cavaliers' offseason options, and the conversation covers everything from a potential Jared Allen trade to the very real possibility of LeBron James returning to Cleveland for a third run. Danny explains how James Harden opting out and Dean Wade likely walking could get the Cavs out from under the second apron, which would unlock roster building tools that matter way more than the dollar savings. But the moment that will stick with Browns fans comes at the end, when Ken puts Danny on the spot with a 30 second Myles Garrett question and Danny does not hesitate for a second, saying trade him, get three first rounders and a good young player, and start building toward the future because this Browns team is not winning at a high level while Garrett is in his prime.

Nick and Jonathan evaluate potential roster adjustments for the Cleveland Cavaliers including trades involving Max Strus and Dean Wade. The conversation shifts to Taylor Swift's interaction with a fan and the financial value of her autographed collectibles. 01:00 - Cavs Roster Changes 03:49 - Magic Trade Rumors 05:32 - LeBron Trade Debate 08:30 - Taylor Swift Interaction 13:29 - Swift Memorabilia Value

Ken and Lima keep the phones hot as callers debate where the blame really lands, with one caller going to bat for Dean Wade and another comparing Harden guarding Brunson to a football referee. The Donovan Mitchell question cuts to the heart of it — was he scared or just gassed, and does the answer change what comes next? Dan Gilbert hitting social media after the game is the final thread Ken teases heading into the break, and it sounds like the owner isn't hiding how he feels either.

Ken and Lima break down the Brunson problem — a former NBA player flatly says the Cavs have nobody who can guard him — before Chris Mannix flips the script and argues Cleveland is actually a matchup nightmare for New York, with Jared Allen and Evan Mobley capable of putting Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble early and often. The Dean Wade versus Max Struess starting lineup debate surfaces as a genuine strategic question, with the plus-minus numbers surprisingly favoring Wade despite the optics, and the Knicks' cutting game and movement without the ball presenting a very different challenge than anything Detroit threw at the Cavs. The segment ends on a lighter note with Donovan Mitchell's fiancée Coco Jones potentially providing the Jordan Poole effect at MSG, Jared Allen returning to the building where he dominated in Game 7, and Ken making the case that Karl-Anthony Towns committing brain-dead fouls at the worst possible moments might be the Cavs' most underrated advantage in this series.

Chris Fedor joined Baskin and Phelps to preview the Cavaliers' game 6 match up with the Pistons, why Dean Wade has been a critical component to the roster despite what the box score says, and which of the team's superstars need to step up in order for the Cavs to take the series in six games.

Ken and Lima bring in producer John to run through the About Last Night segment covering the Guardians' 4-2 win over the Angels for their first sweep of the season, with closer Kate Smith leading the majors in saves and looking like a legitimate All-Star candidate if he keeps it up. The Browns schedule news generates some excitement, with rumors the team will open the season in Orlando against the Jaguars, which Ken and Lima agree is actually a fun destination for fans compared to overseas games. The spiciest take of the segment comes from producer John, who argues Dean Wade should be starting every single game based on his plus-22 plus-minus with zero points in the last two games, and Lima backs him up by pointing out that Kenny Atkinson has stuck with the same starting lineup all series and has now won three straight.

Fear the 'Fro celebrates a glorious Game Four victory as the Cavs hang a 22-0 run on the Pistons in the 3rd quarter, and even the series up at 2 games a piece.  The mailbag is overflowing and the mood has improved dramatically.
