Plain Dealer's Cavs beat writer also updates on the team's pursuit of Matt Barnes and the trade status of Delonte West.
Matt Barnes: Coming to 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 Mike Peticca. Let's go to the highlights:
• What is the biggest reason the Cavaliers are having trouble landing free agents this offseason? Is it Dan Gilbert's e-mail rant after LeBron James announced he was going to Miami? The Cleveland winters? Vote in the Starting Blocks poll posted now in the blog.
• Plain Dealer Cavs beat writer Brian Windhorst, today's guest, says that Gilbert's e-mail took some people aback when he sent it, but it shouldn't be an issue for the team long-term. He says Cleveland isn't a destination city for NBA players because of the weather and the fact the team won't contend for a title in the near future. Also, he gives updates on prospects Samardo Samuels and Christian Eyenga.
