Podcap: Cleveland 110, Detroit 91 (or, J.B. vs Georges)
2025-01-28J.B. Bickerstaff returned to the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse Monday night to take on Georges Niang and the Cleveland Cavaliers who were coming of a three game losing streak. After the wine and gold broke said losing streak, Cavs the Braintrust joined their hive mind to podcast about the Cavs recent woes, what they need to do to get back on track, how thankful we all still are that Bickerstaff’s gone, and to look at NBA’s upcoming slop season. Many intriguing questions were posed. Is the Cavs’ January defensive swoon just due to injuries and variation, or something to worry about? What do the Cavs have to do to stop playing Georges Niang? How good is Darius Garland? Why in God’s name haven’t the Cavs grabbed another big? Should Nate be fired for suggesting a trade with Golden State? All these questions and more were answered as Nate, Eli, and Chris broke down the game, the team, and the Association.

BR HAS CAVS POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT LONZO BALL OR BEN SIMMONS AS BUYOUTS—- THOUGHTs /,OPINIONS
Windy was tossing out longshot guesses about what might happen, as opposed to having some inside info.
I agree with someone who said that Lonzo would be nice if he could stay healthy.
I also agree with some 76’ers fan site that Ben would almost certainly be a lot more trouble than he is worth for any team. over the years I have seen many instances of teams taking a chance on “super talented but major head case” guys — it is mighty rare that this turns out well.
Worked out pretty well for the Cavs with JR. Which is all the more impressive considering they also had to manage Kyrie. Of course it always helps to have Lebron on your team. (I’m not advocating for bringing on either of them, just saying)
