Share this: People make plenty of jokes about how LeBron James actually runs the Cleveland Cavaliers, but word is the King is going to let the front office deal with the team’s latest big decision. Star point guard Kyrie Irving reportedly wants to be traded out of Cleveland, and ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, citing NBA sources, reported Friday that Irving met with Cavs management first and told his teammates about his feelings later. And James allegedly won’t get any more involved than that. “As the Cavs consider their options, sources said James has expressed to the team that he is focused on his offseason workout regimen and is planning to report to training camp with the intention of leading his teammates to a fourth

Watch Red Sox’s Jackie Bradley Jr. Make Ridiculous Catch Vs. Angels
Share this: Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but Jackie Bradley Jr. made an absolutely ridiculous catch that will flat-out make your jaw drop.

Why Austin Dillon Was Booted From Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Basketball League
Share this: If you fancy yourself a skilled basketball player, Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s men’s basketball league isn’t the place for you. NASCAR’s most popular driver is the founder, CEO and commissioner of the “Dirty Mo Basketball League,” a three-on-three, halfcourt league comprised (in theory) of average-to-below average ballers. Despite the presence of a few “knock-down shooters,” as Earnhardt puts it, the league is meant for “people that aren’t good at ball.” So what happens when someone shows up and just starts wrecking fools? Well, they get shown the door. “In our league, if you play too good, you get kicked out,” Earnhardt said in Tuesday’s episode of his “Dale Jr. Download” podcast. “Austin Dillon … kicked out’s a strong word, but he was not
Draymond Green Laughs Off Damian Lillard’s Prediction For Next Season
Share this: The Portland Trail Blazers appear to be hot in their pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, as the team’s stars believe the forward can take the team to new heights. C.J. McCollum believes the addition of Anthony would make Portland one of the top three teams in the Western Conference, while backcourt mate Damian Lillard thinks the 10-time All-Star would make the Blazers a matchup nightmare for their opponents, even the vaunted Golden State Warriors. It’s safe to say Draymond Green doesn’t agree with Lillard’s take, which the Warriors forward made overtly obvious via his Instagram photo Thursday. Green and The Dubs certainly have bragging rights over the Blazers at present, as Golden State handily swept Portland in the teams’ first-round playoff series this
NBA Rumors: Carmelo Anthony Would Waive Trade Kicker To Join Rockets
Share this: Rumors of Carmelo Anthony wanting to join the Rockets have been running rampant, and it appears the star forward is willing to sacrifice to head to Houston. Anthony reportedly has made it clear to the New York Knicks that he wants to be traded to the Rockets, who are one of the few teams the 10-time All-Star allegedly would waive his no-trade clause for. And to make the transition even smoother, Anthony reportedly would turn away some cash to team up with James Harden and Chris Paul. “My sources tell me he’s (Anthony) willing to waive the trade kicker, which is worth around $8 million, so that makes a little easier for Houston to do a trade,” Adrian Wojnarowski said on
