Plain Dealer Cavaliers beat writer Brian Windhorst, today's guest, talks about LeBron's departure and what's next for the Cavaliers.
Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, our Web video show about what's going on in Cleveland sports. Today's show is hosted by Chuck Yarborough and Branson Wright. Today's highlights:
• Vote in our Starting Blocks polls about LeBron James' decision to leave Cleveland for Miami. One poll asks where James' departure ranks among Cleveland sports disappointments. Another poll asks if it will be the Cavaliers or the Heat that will win an NBA title first.
• Plain Dealer Cavaliers beat writer Brian Windhorst, today's guest, talks about LeBron's departure and what's next for the Cavaliers.
While Windhorst does not think James will regret his decision to leave, he believes James will regret breaking the news to all of Cleveland on a one-hour ESPN special. And he thinks Gilbert will regret how he expressed himself in his open letter to Cavaliers fans.
As for moving forward, Windhorst says the Cavaliers need to look at the long term. Trying to compete for a championship and rebuild at the same time is the wrong approach.
Starting Blocks TV will return Monday.
