On today’s episode of the Ultimate 216 Show, Earl Da Pearl and Mike Lucas dive headfirst into the hot Cavs rumor lighting up the timeline: Would you trade Darius Garland for Jalen Suggs? We break down why this rumored move might not be as crazy as it sounds, especially if the Cleveland Cavaliers are serious about building a team that actually fits around Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. Is Suggs the perfect gritty, defensive complement? Or would this be a massive step back in star power?

Then, the guys play GM and build their way-too-early Browns QB depth chart with Deshaun Watson presumed unavailable. With Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel all in the room, who should be QB1? Who might be on the chopping block? Who’s the long-term play? Earl and Mike go back and forth on who makes the final 53 and what message that sends about the Browns’ 2025 identity.

And finally, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot joins the show live at 5:15 PM, fresh off being named the 2025 Bill Nunn Jr. Award recipient. She breaks down everything she’s seen at Browns OTAs so far — from Shedeur’s limited reps and Dawand Jones’ rise, to Mason Graham’s early flashes and what’s really going on with all those missing veterans. Must-watch Browns insight you won’t get anywhere else.

Produced by Mike Lucas, Anthony Antonelli, and Earl Mauldin. Hosted by Jay Crawford, Adam the Bull, G Bush, Jason Lloyd, and Tyvis Powell.

Joe Flacco played (and played well) for the Cleveland Browns in 2023.

He says the 2025 playbook is awfully similar to what he ran in 2023. How much does that familiarity with the playbook impact the Browns QB1 battle?

Can Dawand Jones be an elite LT if he stays healthy?

How can you not question the Cavs' toughness after hearing these comments from the Pacers?

Plus, the Guardians take on the Angels on WKYC tonight!

Donovan Mitchell is a combo guard. He's a natural shooting guard, but can play the point when Darius Garland heads to the bench.

If the Cleveland Cavaliers move on from DG this summer, can Mitchell take over as the team's primary point guard?

In the ever-evolving landscape of the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves at a crossroads, contemplating a seismic shift that could redefine their roster and aspirations for the upcoming season. At the heart of these deliberations is Donovan Mitchell, a pivotal figure whose presence has sparked widespread speculation about potential trade scenarios. As the Cavaliers weigh their options, a bold proposal has emerged, suggesting a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets, centered around swapping star center Jarrett Allen for the multifaceted talent of Cam Johnson.

The Cavaliers, buoyed by the “Core Four” of Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, have enjoyed a cohesive synergy that has been the foundation of their success over the past three seasons. This quartet has navigated the team through the highs and lows of the league, establishing a competitive edge that many believe warrants another run with the same lineup. However, the winds of change are blowing, hinting at a potential reshuffling of this core group to inject new dynamism into the team’s strategy.

The proposition to trade Allen, along with Jaylon Tyson and a top-14-protected 2031 first-round pick, in exchange for Cam Johnson, is a testament to the Cavaliers’ ambition to bolster their roster with a top-tier 3&D talent. Johnson, with his impressive averages of 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists on 39.0% shooting from three, represents a significant upgrade in terms of offensive firepower and defensive versatility. His addition could transform the Cavaliers’ forward lineup, pairing him with DeAndre Hunter to create a formidable duo capable of challenging the best in the league.

The start of the 2025 NFL season is getting closer and closer, and the Cleveland Browns hold its first OTA session of the summer today.

This is the first time we'll get a chance to see all 4 QBs vying for the QB1 start to separate themselves from the pack.

The QBs are the obvious storyline to watch, but what other things should fans be keeping an eye out for this summer?

The Guardians made a statement by taking 3 out of 4 from the Tigers this weekend. Cleveland did lose G1 to the Dodgers however. Ben Lively is out for the rest of the season. Can Slade Cecconi step up and fill his shoes?

Plus, the Pacers keep winning in the postseason. Is it looking more and more like Indiana was a far superior team than we gave them credit for and should that loosen up some of the criticism on the Cavs?
