In case you didn’t notice, and judging by the ratings you didn’t, the NBA draft lottery was met with some controversy on Tuesday night after the Cleveland Cavaliers miraculously ended up with the No. 1- and No. 4-overall picks in this year’s draft. Some have chirped that the lottery is fixed, but most of those [...]
While no one should be excited about being traded to the horrific Cleveland Cavaliers, the exception might be Baron Davis. Now, he won’t have to be heckled at home games by his team’s own friggin’ owner while he tries to play basketball. So, excited or not, Davis was sent packing to the Cavs along with [...]
Who said that the Cleveland Cavaliers needed LeBron James? Everyone acted like as soon as he bolted for Miami, the team would go in the tank. Not true. The Cavs are still out there on the hardwood setting records. Last night, they set a big one. Following a 111-105 defeat at the hands of the [...]
You know that voice? C’mon… the voice. The one you hear on radio that is a full on baritone of sexiness? It’s the one that has your girlfriend looking at you and wondering where the hell she went wrong. Yeah, THAT voice. Well, we found it and every man in America can take a big [...]
We don’t know about you, but the more we hear about LeBron James this year, the more we think he’s a selfish, self-absorbed prick. Especially as we get closer to his return to Cleveland on Thursday night and hear the rumors that he’s planting stories about his coach in order to take the spotlight off [...]
Police are still trying to figure out what happened to former Atlanta Hawk and Memphis Grizzly Lorenzen Wright. His body was found riddled with bullets a couple weeks ago in a Southeast Memphis field. Now, police are focusing their investigation on his ex-wife, Sherra Wright, according to a report from MyEyeWitnessNews.com. Her house was searched [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in “advanced talks” with the Minnesota Timberwolves involving a trade for Ramon Sessions, Brian Windhorst tweets. League sources consider this a ‘strong move’ for the Cavaliers. [...]
This is great and we want people to post this everywhere. Check out BreakUpWithLeBron.com. It’s not just that LeBron James decided to go to the Miami Heat (did you hear about that yet?), it’s that the city of Cleveland feels like he dissed them publicly on national TV. So, starting on July 14th (that’s tomorrow), [...]
Of course you’ve all heard about the comments of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert regarding LeBron James’ decision to go to the Miami Heat. He popped off like a petulant child and accused LeBron of quitting on his team during the playoffs. It’s one thing for the fans and media to say stuff like that, [...]
We aren’t really surprised by this. According to the Associated Press, workers have begun dismantling the giant 10-story billboard of LeBron James that has been a fixture in Cleveland for years. The billboard is an image of James opening up his arms to the sky after doing his signature powder toss clap thing that he [...]
Yes, we are just like you. We would love nothing else than for everyone to shut the hell up about rumors and nonsense about where LeBron James might end up playing. We don’t care that he once ate a great strip steak in Anaheim, and that that particular cut is the specialty of Peter Luger’s [...]
Lost in all of this talk about LeBron James signing this place or that place and will he sign with Cleveland and blah blah woof woof, is the fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers will most certainly be losing Shaquille O’Neal. Sure, he’s not in his prime anymore, but he is still a ginormous body down [...]
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade met with the Chicago Bulls recently and today met with the New York Knicks. He says he’s “intrigued” by the Knicks and that he’s “in a New York state of mind.” That’s all well and good, but according to Yahoo! Sports, Wade is meeting with the Bulls again Friday night. [...]
All along we thought that the Cleveland Cavaliers had the edge to land LeBron James, mainly because they can offer the most money. But it also helped that they were pitching King James last. But apparently that has changed. According to Brian Windhorst on Twitter, the Chicago Bulls will now go last. “Cavs will meet [...]
On July 1st the LeBron James sweepstakes officially begins. He is expected to field offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets and Chicago Bulls. But, an unnamed NBA team executive tells the New York Times that you can pretty much consider LeBron a Chicago Bull. The Times writes [...]
League sources tell Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski that LeBron James is planning on meeting with six teams in Ohio during the first few days of free agency. He is told that Jay-Z and the New Jersey Nets will be the first team to meet with him. James and his crew are expected to get presentations [...]
Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo will remain Michigan State basketball coach, according to Brian Windhorst. Izzo has officially declined the offer for the Cleveland Cavaliers job and will sit tight at home where he is comfortable. “It is official, Izzo to stay at MSU. Makes perfect sense w/o LeBron commitment. Moral: Hard to leave [...]
It’s been reported that Michigan State head basketball coach (men’s) Tom Izzo would like to speak to LeBron James before he makes his decision on whether or not to take the Cleveland Cavaliers job. But, according to Cavaliers insider Brian Windhorst, that’s not likely to happen. “LeBron has respect for Izzo but sticks w/plan, won’t [...]
A source close to Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo tells Andy Katz of ESPN.com that Izzo is leaning towards leaving MSU to take the Cleveland Cavaliers job. We’ve heard that the Cavaliers are offering in the neighborhood of $6 million per year. We don’t blame Izzo for heading in the direction of that kind [...]
What’s the difference between Sal Paolantonio, Chris Mortensen, and Larry King? Give up? Larry King actually breaks sports news. The CNN host of Larry King Live is having one of his interviews aired on Friday night featuring free-agent-to-be Lebron James. A couple tidbits have already been released that might seem to indicate James will be [...]
Here at OTR, we are huge fans of Chris Bosh. During the past seven seasons, Bosh has played for the Toronto Raptors, a team that’s kind of linked to the NBA, but not taking too seriously. Despite playing in the land of free health care, Bosh has been a member of the USA National team [...]
By now, we are sure that you heard the rumors about Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West having sexual relations with LeBron James’ mother. As you can tell by the tone of our post on that one, we don’t believe this to be true. Shockingly though, a ton of people actually believe that this actually occurred [...]
At OTR, there is nothing we love more than random internet rumors that don’t contain any hard facts or evidence. We believe all of them to be true, because if they were false, they wouldn’t be on the internet. So, have you received the latest email about why the Cleveland Cavaliers went out so miserably [...]
Sonny Vaccaro was once considered the most powerful man in amateur basketball. He also considers Cleveland Cavaliers superstar (former Cavaliers superstar?) LeBron James to be a friend. Oh, and he told an ESPN radio station that there is a very good chance that James is done with the Cavaliers. He was asked if LeBron could [...]
