Links to the Present: pick-me-up edition

I’m sure we’re all feeling a little apoplectic after last night’s shellacking. Here’s some drops to make you feel better. Up top we have Parma native Donny Newman, with “In Cleveland,” A Chinese language rap video praising the metropolis of the Western Reserve. It’s an infectious ode.

Next, we have this scintillating news from Alex Kennedy: The Kings and Cavs are both working the phones, looking for trades, today, after less than promising starts (and not necessarily with each other). So chew on that, while you enjoy the best of Cleveland and superior Mandarin flow.  Because — hey — it’s just basketball.
