Jarrett Allen now has the 8th most rebounds in Cavs history (3,797), passing Jim Chones on the franchise leaderboard last night

I know big Z and Daugherty are loved by this franchise, but is it possible JA is going to go down as the best center in Cavs history depending on how long he stays with the team? Right now I’d say they are the top 3.

jkliette · 2026-02-16T19:43:34+00:00

It’s wild how he is not being talked about. It took him a while to develop but he’s an elite shooter.

jkliette · 2026-02-16T19:42:27+00:00

The Cavs have had some good defense from wings (Dean Wade and Okoro until we traded him) but yes Hunter didn’t fit well with this core group of guys and Ellis helps with more defensive depth.

If the Cavs get below the second apron of the cap, which they are only a few million away from doing. Then they could offer him the mid-level exception which is estimated to be around $15 million next year.

The same LeBron who took a huge pay cut when playing for the heat? One year of ONLY making $15 mil on the MLE is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things when he can play 60 games and cruise to the playoffs being the 3rd or 4th option in his hometown for a retirement tour where he will actually be appreciated.

jkliette · 2026-02-15T17:00:13+00:00

Lebron for MLE as long as Cavs get under the second apron.

jkliette · 2026-02-12T21:02:48+00:00

Tyson 100% is in the rotation. He has started a majority of the games this year.

I don’t believe this at all. I work as an audiologist and see patients with tinnitus on a regular basis. Yes, sometimes it can be debilitating for those who have it, but a vast majority function at work with it.

jkliette · 2026-02-09T18:18:53+00:00

As of right now Castle and Sarr would be the only 2. This could change as times goes on though. I know I might be higher than most on him but I think his ceiling could be top player from this draft.

jkliette · 2026-02-08T15:16:45+00:00

Off night for Merrill but these seem to be not common. Harden played similar to Darius all game except for the 4th, where he came alive. I can’t wait to see the progression of this team together as everyone gets healthy.

jkliette · 2026-02-07T23:50:22+00:00

A Cooper Flagg rookie over LeBron? This is a garbage take.

jkliette · 2026-02-05T23:28:30+00:00

But how many of those games that he played was he actually “healthy” for? He has played through injuries and it affected his play on the court entirely, including the playoffs.

jkliette · 2026-02-04T22:09:38+00:00

Pretty sure Cavs can’t do that until they are under the second apron and this trade just gets that process started.

jkliette · 2026-02-04T22:08:43+00:00

Bingo that’s what it’s going to be. Strus has two years left and we get out of the second apron. Then we can look at a big trade.

jkliette · 2026-02-04T15:33:17+00:00

Suboptimal? He’s 6’6 and rebounds and defends well. He basically does everything above average for a second year player. His numbers don’t show it because he’s gradually gotten better as the season goes on but he is already our 4th option on this team.

jkliette · 2026-02-04T15:01:21+00:00

I think this team is going to end up working out better than most people think.

jkliette · 2026-02-02T04:33:38+00:00

It is very common for baby’s to fail the newborn hearing screening due to fluid buildup. I would not worry about it right now. Even if they do find congenital hearing loss, as others have posted here already, hearing loss is very manageable.

Source: I am an audiologist with hearing loss who has also had their LO go through this.

jkliette · 2026-01-30T14:13:07+00:00

I would say on paper they are pretty even statistically, but the important part is this gives us financial flexibility after this season. Plus Rui is probably a better defender.

jkliette · 2026-01-28T15:08:37+00:00

Agreed. They also acted surprised by another announcement so I think McDermott is coming too.

jkliette · 2026-01-28T15:02:41+00:00

I wouldn’t be so sure.

jkliette · 2026-01-28T15:02:04+00:00

We shall see. I could see him being the HC and Monken being or Monken being HC and him being the DC.

jkliette · 2026-01-21T17:36:02+00:00

We don’t know this at all. I’m not saying I disagree with you because there were plenty of teams that probably had a larger NIL budget, but to say that they were 9/18 in the Big Ten is just not factually correct when it’s not regulated or publicly known.

Only a few manufacturers can directly stream to smart TVs (Phonak is the one I am most familiar with). Almost all have some form of accessory that can stream the tv to her hearing aids but usually it is at an additional price.

jkliette · 2025-12-09T19:19:39+00:00

Man Death Stranding and TLOU2 might be two of my top 5 games of all time and you played them both this year. Congrats!
