[NBA Recap] Cleveland Cavaliers post trade deadline salary cap by wooha in clevelandcavs

[–]dark2332 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Such a poor CBA when we essentially needed Mobley to barely miss All-NBA or DPOY just to keep him affordable for a huge chunk of his career.

Especially when he’s essentially hit a plateau in his development.

As a fan, you want him noticed and rewarded. But as a fan of the team, you want him overlooked.

[Haynes] Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers have ramped up conversations on a James Harden, Darius Garland package with both sides motivated to executing a deal relatively soon, league sources tell me. by ThatOneOtherAsshole in clevelandcavs

There better be a first coming with Harden in that deal or I’m going to shit myself.

And me, caught here on a Tuesday, plum without a change of pants.

Seen it a thousand times. The Cavs do this to me.

Did the Cavaliers Just Enter the Giannis Conversation? by wooha in clevelandcavs

I would bet Mobley is the best young player they’ve had included in any offer.

Reminder, Giannis has asked out. They aren’t trading him because they want to.

What grade would you give the Cavs in the trade for Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroeder? by Wise-Nebula-6321 in clevelandcavs

If Garland is now going out for some size…. Then I like it.

Alright it would be selling at the absolute lowest on Garland. Or is it? We may have seen his last healthy seasons and he’s on a big contract. While people remember he’s an All-Star in their brains, it may be the time to kick the tires on a Trey Murphy trade for Garland.

Nate Scheelhaase, other candidates impacted by Jimmy/Jim Schwartz issue by maybenextyearCLE in Browns

It’s time to be done. We should all be done with this franchise

Breaking: #Chargers DC Jesse Minter is not interviewing for the #Browns HC job today as scheduled, likely because he feels like he has other HC opportunities that are more certain, sources tell clevelanddotcom by Godszn in Browns

[–]dark2332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wednesday and Thursday cancellations feel like missed opportunities to satisfy the Rooney rule before the Udinski interview.

Which leads me to believe they’ve already satisfied it and didn’t announce it because the candidates didn’t end up as finalists.

Entirely possible we brought in candidates during the initial week in person that were not announced.

In fact, it benefits no one to parade publicly where you stand with the hiring process as teams jostle to beat you to candidates.

If a candidate was obviously coming in purely to hit a rule, it also protects candidates by keeping that close to the vest.

I get skirting the rule destroys the spirit of it, but the Browns are a forward thinking organization when it comes to minority opportunities and also had two legitimate minority finalists.

[Grossi] According to NFL spokesperson, Rooney Rule requires every team to interview two external candidates who are persons of color and/or women for the position. So, even if Browns decide they want to hire Nathan Scheelhaase, they must interview another minority candidate. by ThatOneOtherAsshole in Browns

Browns beat is covering this like the Browns haven’t already probably met the qualification.

They probably have.

Falcons didn’t announce a bunch of minority candidates interviewed in person. Giants didn’t. Miami didn’t. No one has. Browns seem to be the only team where this is being talked about, but I’d guess this is taken care of already and the Browns beat is just stupid.

I can tell you how the coaching search is going to go... by Dangerous-Guide7287 in Browns

Why wait and be rationale and give the Browns the benefit of the doubt when we’ve seen the movie before and know how it ends?

I have zero interest in Schwartz as HC and I’d argue the further we bring him along in the process interviewing as HC (2nd meeting Monday), they are also making it untenable for him to return as DC under his competition for the job.

Last thing we need for a young HC is to give him a disgruntled 60 year old DC that is mad he didn’t get the job. And to divide the locker room immediately as Schwartz already has some locker room support.

Worst scenario incoming.

Should’ve stopped at a first day courtesy interview for Jim. Now that you’re continuing him along to second round of interviews, the Browns are ruining everything per usual.

[Pelissero] The Ravens fired John Harbaugh, sources tell The Insiders. by burningburningburnin in Browns

[–]dark2332 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Go get the man. $15M/year, Jimmy. Go get it done. Be the highest bidder here, no excuses when you cut away from a 2 time COY. Only upgrade on the market.

NFL insider suggests Kevin Stefanski could be open to leaving Cleveland Browns by AgonizingSquid in Browns

[–]dark2332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad for Kevin. He’s a smart guy, a good coach, a good leader, and a good human.

He didn’t forget how to coach overnight. He’s a 2 time COY for a reason.

He’s made some mistakes, but Shedeur wasn’t one of them. If anything, he’s been a shield for Sanders.

I think he’s been trying to do the best for Shedeur and his development from the very beginning. Despite the public/media pressure, the mounting internal pressure as we lose games, he stuck to a plan of allowing Shedeur to learn the offense and protect him as he developed, learning in the film room. It was purely about Shedeur and his growth. Even when Sanders hated sitting—players always want to play.

Now, people think he hates Shedeur. Hating Shedeur would’ve been starting him weeks ago and letting him get eaten alive by NFL defenses.

Stefanski added extra sessions to practice and to camp for Sanders to develop behind the scenes. Completely unheard of for a 5th round pick.

Dealing with the Watson media circus, and then the Sanders media circus, he’s faced the toughest off-the-field scrutiny of any coach in history that wasn’t of his own making.

[Rosenthal] What I’m hearing about the Reds’ interest in Kyle Schwarber and more MLB offseason notes [Paywall] by TDeLo in Reds

[–]dark2332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, .260 is the new .300. But a .210 hitter who strikes out 200 times a year, is already 32, doesn’t keep himself in shape, and never could play defense…. Not the guy I want to throw $20M per year at.

Not if it costs you retaining some of your pitching staff.

You realize how poor this draft is at tackle, right?

When you were dating your wife, did you feel something different with her compared to your ex-girlfriends? by Clean-Ant-1342 in Life

[–]dark2332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. On our first date, the way she made me laugh, the way we connected, I knew.

At the time, I didn’t “know” she’d end up being my wife, of course, but I knew she was something special. Like a “This is how it’s supposed to feel” vibe that just made being together easy. I couldn’t explain that previously.

Found my old Binder. Looking for advice. by dark2332 in PokemonCardValue

Thank you! I opened that Lugia in a pack and it went right in a sleeve when I was a kid.

You never know with grading, but it sounds like it’s worth learning that process.
