CLEVELAND, Ohio — Kevin Love is going to summer school at Harvard and he isn’t
even the most famous person in the class.
The course is “The Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports,” a $10,000
four-day “immersive experience” designed to teach celebrities, professional
athletes, agents and entertainment executives about “business and technology
trends that are redefining the industry.”
The course’s famous almuni include Dwyane Wade, Katie Holmes, LL Cool J,
Channing Tatum and Karlie Kloss.
The Cavaliers star posted a photo of his classmates on Instagram: “Fixer Upper”
stars Chip and Joanna Gaines, “NCIS: Los Angeles” actor Eric Christian Olsen,
R&B singer Ciara, fellow NBA players Julius Randle and Luc Mbah a Moute, and
former professional soccer players Tim Cahill and Oliver Kahn. Their Harvard
Business School professor Anita Elberse is also in the picture. – CLICK HERE to

The case for the Cleveland Cavaliers to draft Jarrett Culver Author: Ben Axelrod
Publication: WKYC
This time last year, the Cleveland Cavaliers were preparing for Game 1 of the
2018 NBA Finals.
What a difference a year makes.
With the Toronto Raptors set to take the Cavs’ place against the Golden State
Warriors in this year’s Finals, Cleveland has already turned its attention
toward the NBA Draft. After suffering some bad luck at the draft lottery, the
Cavs lay claim to the No. 5 overall pick in next month’s draft, despite entering
the drawing in the second slot.
That doesn’t, however, mean, Cleveland won’t have a chance to land a promising
prospect. In fact, one could argue that the team’s lack of lottery luck only
makes its decision in next month’s draft all the more important. – CLICK HERE to

The Cleveland Cavaliers Should Try To Trade For Clint Capela This Offseason
Author: Evan Dammarell Publication: Forbes.com
The Houston Rockets have been eliminated by the Golden State Warriors in three
of the last five postseasons, with the latest being a meltdown in the second
round of the Western Conference Playoffs. This elimination by Golden State may
be the one that finally broke Houston general manager Daryl Morey, as ESPN’s
Adrian Wojnarowski has reported that the entire Rockets roster, sans James
Harden, as well as future draft picks, are available in trade talks.
Morey will be aggressive in his pursuit to improve Houston’s roster but they
have no cap room to change a roster that is built for a window that may be
closing, thanks to Chris Paul and his contract that will pay him $44 million at
37 years old. Houston has also guaranteed $72.1 million over the next four years
to center Clint Capela, who is a liability for the Rockets against the Warriors.
In the vacuum of time and space, it made sense for the Rockets to go all-in on
surrounding Harden with talent but if they are unable to beat Golden State,
Morey’s white whale, then the juice just is not worth the squeeze. Moving Paul’s
albatross contract will be tough for Morey, but he may have the perfect suitor
for Capela in the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers are a team that is looking to take on long-term contracts like
Capela’s in order to be a serious playoff contender in a few seasons. They are
also armed with a myriad of future expiring contracts like Tristan Thompson
($18.5 million), Brandon Knight ($15.6 million), Jordan Clarkson ($13.4
million), John Henson ($9.7 million) and Matthew Dellavedova ($9.6 million) to
work with. Out of all of the before-mentioned players, Thompson is the one that
makes the most sense to be shipped to Houston for Capela. A trade that works for
both sides would require the Cavaliers sending Thompson to Houston for Capela
and Gary Clark, with Clark just serving as salary filler to make the trade
legal. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
