Cavs: the blog: "Regardless of how the rest of this summer plays out, there's no doubt that the Bulls have done absolutely everything right up to this point. Thanks to patience, a series of savvy moves and picks, and more than a little bit of luck, the Bulls are in position to add LeBron James and Chris Bosh to an already-solid young core. Instead of tanking for draft picks/cap space or mortgaging their future, Chicago consistently put a quality team on the floor while leaving room for the team to improve." » Read more
Cleveland Frowns: "It appears that LeBron and his team may listen a little more closely to the Bulls. Because LeBron is going to make a basketball decision, and the Bulls can offer the most formidable core of players to join him. We needed the New York Times to tell us this. And anonymous NBA exec needed to 'gather' this from conversations with other anonymous NBA execs. Just incredible. An incredible piece of work by Abrams and the New York Times. Also incredible how much has been made of the notion that LeBron will make 'a basketball decision,' as if we were talking about fantasy hoops here." » Read more
Browns
Cleveland Reboot: "Let's hope all the positive buzz surrounding Robiskie actually does carry over into the regular season. For lack of a better sentiment, the Browns' offense is desperately relying on a player who played in parts of five games last season. For the team's offense – particularly in the passing game – Robiskie needs to make an Olympic-sized jump in order for the Browns to reach even some basic compentency. Otherwise, Mohammed Massaquoi will be double-teamed on every third down, following a series of eight-man fronts on every other play." » Read more

LeBrowns Town: "He's under the team's control through 2013, and even though his current trade value might be higher than ever, the Indians need an anchor in that weak pitching staff. The team has three years to deal Carmona, and if they expect to contend in that time period, then it makes sense to hang on to him rather than swap him for prospects that might not be ready to help the team by 2013." » Read more
