Uncle Drew Moving to Beantown

Today the Cleveland Cavaliers traded All-Star Kyrie Irving to Eastern Conference foe, Boston Celtics. The trade has Boston getting Irving and Cleveland lands the expiring contract of Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, the Nets 2018 1st round pick, and Ante Zizic.  A lot of the buzz on social media has been saying that this trade is bad for Cleveland but I don’t see it that way. Here is a team that will likely go back to the NBA Finals and with 2 1st round picks and the possibility of re-signing IT4, that could be enough for the Cavs to hold on to their King past this coming season.

All things being perfect, I see the Cavs keeping Lebron in the fold and he finds a way to make things work to end his career the way he started it, with the Cleveland Cavaliers but of course we’re talking about Lebron James, whose mind could change at any given moment depending on situation. So, stay tuned because this is only the beginning of the circus.

A Leg to Stand On: Ezekiel Elliot Situation

Last week it was announced that the NFL would be issuing a 6 game suspension to Ezekiel Elliott for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.  Now, this stems from an investigation that started last summer after Elliott’s then girlfriend, pressed charges against Elliott for domestic abuse but the judge ruled that there was not enough evidence to move forward with the charges. So, there’s a woman (of European descent) that is involved with this star athlete and she is photographed with noticeable bodily injuries that she said were caused by  Elliott, who is a 1st round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys. So, during the investigation there were statements provided by the “victim’s” friends, that went against the claims of Miss Thompson. In fact, there are messages that Elliott himself has kept and provided the league with, in which Thompson lays claim that she will “Ruin his career.”

Look, I am the last person that will defend a man for violating a woman in any form or fashion, but if that isn’t enough to expunge Elliott from punishment, then what is it that the NFL found during their investigation? I know that the law can only do so much and the NFL has money longer than Shaq’s feet, which means that they spare no expense. The decision to suspend Zeke can’t solely be that they are unhappy with his actions, so he gets suspended, no there has to be a smoking gun for a suspension like this to be the final decision. And if I am Zeke, and I am sure of my innocence, then I am fighting this thing until I can’t fight it any more! Unfortunately for Miss Thompson and Zeke, they both will have to live the rest of their lives with this issue hanging over their heads, no matter who is right or wrong. That’s just the way it is until there is some sort of undeniable evidence to say otherwise.

CP3 Headed to H-Town

After opting into his contract with the Clippers, Chris Paul is headed to play alongside maybe the best 2-guard in the NBA. That’s right, today the Clippers completed a sign-and-trade with the Houston Rockets, which will send Chris Paul to Houston for Patrick Beverly, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker and a 2018 1st round pick. This comes after Paul was set to hit free agency and the Clippers saw that he was going to walk. The Clippers took advantage of the opportunity to get some sort of compensation for Paul even if it doesn’t seem like much. Beverly will bring it every night and we already know Lou Williams can go for 20 on any given night and if given the opportunity Sam Dekker could be a good shooter in this league. With that being said none of them are nowhere near the caliber of player at their respective positions as a Chris Paul, but at least they won’t be left with crumbs.

Now I am wanting to see how Steve Balmer and company bounce back. Will they lock-in on bringing back Blake Griffin and possibly trading their newly acquired 1st round pick, plus Lou Williams, and other assets for Paul George? I’m not sure but there are several possibilities out there for the Clippers franchise and they could either be very good or all-time low bad! We shall see, stay tuned!

Cavs Lose Game 3 after Lebron James Goes Missing

Despite the efforts of Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson & Kevin Love, the Cleveland Cavaliers found themselves on the losing end of Game 3. I’ve been critical of a lot of star players and the “biggest star” of them all is Lebron James, went missing last night in Cleveland. During the final 2-3 minutes, Lebron was nowhere to be found, like seriously, at one point late in the game he was looking around to give Kyrie the ball so badly, I mean, he really did look like a kid that was lost in the store looking for a parent to come find him.  James scored a measly 11 points, which is his worst scoring output in his last 58 playoff games. Not sure if Lebron got that bag last night or he really was just off, but One Thing I Know, Marcus Smart played his ass off and I just don’t think he has another game like this in him, but hey, I’ve been wrong before, so we will just have to wait and see. No matter what though, you gotta respect the Celtics and Brad Stevens for not folding and competing after the ass whooping they took in Boston for Game 2.

It’s being reported that current NBA analyst and NBA Champion & Finals MVP, Chauncey Billups, will be interviewing for the vacant Atlanta Hawks General Manager position and I for one am extremely happy for him. Even if he doesn’t get the position, it’s just great for him to even have the opportunity to put his name in GM pool for teams to recognize him. It’s good for the aspiring black GM and former athlete. We can do more than coach, we can construct and build teams as well! Best wishes to Billups on his journey. 

Remember he was one those journeyman players that caught fire in Detroit and carved his own niche by becoming “Big Shot Billups,” here’s to another big shot!

Raiders Moving to Vegas

The vote was made and it is now official, the Oakland Raiders are now officially moving to Las Vegas. 

The vote was 31-1, with the Miami Dolphins being the only “no” vote. The team isn’t moving all at once but will be gone after the 2018-19 season. 

“I have mixed feelings. I love Oakland.” These are words from team owner Mark Davis. 

I’m sure Raiders fans are disappointed and upset about this move, mainly because this franchise had been terrible since they lost the Super Bowl to the Buccaneers and now that they have something to cheer about, they’re moving the team to Vegas. 

Haywood falls to Maplewood in TSSAA Class AA State Semi-Final

9 lead changes and 7 ties later and the Maplewood Panthers, led by Bo Hodges (26 pts, 2 blks), outlasted the Haywood Tomcats 57-56 in the TSSAA Class AA Semi-Final. The Murphy Center looked and sounded like we were in Haywood Co. TN. Maplewood may be in Nashville, but the crowd was very pro Haywood, with a very few Maplewood fans in attendance. From the jump the game was lit! and  it had the makings of something great which is exactly what it was. Great! 

The game had some highs and lows on both sides with neither team ever going up by more than 6.In the 1st half the game was being controlled mostly by the Tomcats. EKU commit Dedric Boyd was hot to start the game, he had 12 points in the opening half but he ended the game with a total of 16 points.  Then you add the fact that Tristan Jarrett was playing hurt the entire 2nd half  and let’s not forget how 2X Mr. Basketball in the state & ETSU signee, Bo Hodges is on the opposing team, and he took over the game and put the team on his shoulders, while having 26 points, he added 8 rebounds. 
Both teams were very aggressive but in the last 2 minutes of the game, there were a couple questionable calls that went against the Tomcats that changed the game drastically. No, the refs didn’t cost them the game but they definitely made it a lot tougher. Congrats to Maplewood on advancing to the Class AA State Championship Game and also to the Haywood Tomcats on reaching their 2nd state appearance in the last 3 years.

John Lynch named 49ers GM

Former All-Pro safety, John Lynch has just accepted the job as general manager for the San Francisco 49ers. Lynch has 0 NFL executive experience will be presumably paired with current Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator, Kyle Shanahan, who is the son of Lynch’s old head coach while he played in Denver for the Broncos. 

There will be a lot of questions about this hire and people ready to boo boo on what the 9ers have done. This is actually a good thing for the organization, you bring in a guy that has clout and respect within the fraternal brotherhood, which is the NFL, and he’ll be able to talk to free agents and speak to them on a football level and players will also respect Lynch and trust him more than they would just some suit & tie guy. This is definitely not as bad as some would like to make it seem. BTSE 365 Podcast
