James Harden and Cleveland Cavs since the trade
Since the trade, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired 16-year veteran and 11-time NBA All-Star James Harden, and I believe it’s been the jolt of energy this team needed. Through 6 games, the Cavs are 5–1 and starting to find the rhythm necessary for a serious playoff push toward the NBA Finals. Harden’s impact has been efficient and steady: 18.7 PPG 50.7% FG 47.1% from three 6.9 AST 2.4 REB And he’s doing this while former Cavs point guard Darius Garland is sidelined in LA.
Cavs & Clippers Blockbuster trade sends Darius Garland to LA for James Harden
James Harden is Cleveland-bound. Darius Garland and the Cavs’ 2nd-round pick are headed out West. But that wasn’t the only move… The Cavs also swung a deal with Sacramento, sending De’Andre Hunter to the Kings in exchange for Dennis Schröder and Keon Ellis. What does all this mean? One thing is clear: The Cleveland Cavaliers are ALL IN for 2026. James Harden is having one of his best seasons — statistically and health-wise.

Letter to the Editor: The Blue Valley Ranch land exchange smells fishy to me

Ryan Poles Has His First Lieutenant In Mind And It's A Good One
People keep talking about Matt Eberflus and the staff he has to put together as head coach. They often forget that new Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles must do the same thing.

Education, work and learning - do they go together?
