Bob is back with Fear the 'Fro's season 2 debut, after an unacceptably long hiatus to talk about the blockbuster news of the day, the trade that brings Donovan Mitchell to the Cavs.  Gone are Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Ochai Agbaji, 3 unprotected 1st round picks, and 2 1st round pick swaps.  Was this a good trade?  Where does this leave the Cavs longterm and in 2022-23.

Bob is back with a pre-postseason pod to discuss the Cavaliers chances of advancing, and what they need to do to get past either the Nets or the Hawks/Hornets.  Then we talk Mobley vs. Cade vs. Barnes, and if Garland has a legitimate chance at MIP. It's playoff time!

Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, is back to pour one out for Jarrett Allen's regular season, which is likely done as he recovers from a fractured finger, suffered in the win over the Raptors.  How do the Cavs respond?  Will their skid continue as the schedule gets harder (Philly, Denver, Chicago, Miami), or will this injury galvanize them?  

Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, is back at the break, talking the Cleveland Cavs first half, including the injury replacement all-star, the 'Fro himself.  Did Jarrett deserve to be selected over Siakam?  Caris Levert has a rough showing the Hawks game.  Then, Bob discusses Ben Simmons introduction in Philadelphia and the deal that sent Harden to Philly and Simmons to Brooklyn.

What a day to be a Cavs podcast!  Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, talks about the trade that brings Caris Levert to Cleveland, in exchange for Ricky Rubio, a 2022 1st round pick, and two seconds.  How does Levert change the Cavs approach this summer, and does this impact Collin Sexton?  Then we break down the 20-point comeback against the Pacers, led by Kevin Love, and Cedi Osman.  Will Jarrett Allen be named an all-star replacement for Kevin Durant?  Finally, Bob breaks down the James Harden drama in Brooklyn, and why the Cavs may ultimately be the biggest winner of a deal where they were simply the 3rd party.

Kevin Love appeared on JJ Redick's podcast and Bob discusses his transformation into his elite 6th man form. What should the Cavs do with the Rubio injury exception and the trade deadline approaching?  Is Kyrie driving Harden out of Brooklyn?

Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, talks about the giant lump of coal that was the Boston Celtics, who behind Jaylen Brownand Robert Williams III, dealt the Cavs a loss.  We talk about the 2021 Cavs, and what's ahead in 2022.  Can the Cavs get two all-stars in Cleveland?  Why the smart money is on Allen, and who Garland's competition is.

Bob Schmidt, the voice of Fox Sports Radio, is back with another episode following the Cavs defeat of the hopeless Houston Rockets.  Isaac Okoro has become Mr. Double Digits, as this 5-game stretch has seen him average nearly 70% from the floor.  Is it sustainable?  Where does this put the Cavs in terms of potential roster moves now and in the future?  Bob examines the luxury of balanced depth (the present Cavs) vs. superstar out (Lebron) construction, and takes issue with the Memphis Grizzlies' twitter guy/girl making a run at the Cavs.
