Cleveland Cavaliers star guard Darius Garland’s trade value doesn’t exactly appear to be at an all-time high at this juncture. For one, he had a postseason to forget. Garland was limited to appearing in just five of Cleveland’s nine playoff games due to injury, and when he did play (as he fought through it to play multiple times), he didn’t quite resemble the same player who was named an All-Star earlier in the year. To make matters worse for his trade value, Garland underwent surgery on his left big toe earlier this month and is expected to need several months…
With the way the Cleveland Cavaliers’ rotation came together this season, it was easy to overlook guard Craig Porter Jr., who saw his role decrease slightly compared to that of his rookie campaign. He averaged fewer points, assists, rebounds and minutes per game in the 2024-25 regular season and started just one of Cleveland’s 82 games. For the second time in two seasons, he appeared in exactly 51 contests (playoffs excluded). However, an opportunity may open up for Porter to have a more significant role with the Cavaliers next season. After all, it’s undetermined as to whether guard Ty Jerome…

Kalen DeBoer had never coached in the South before taking Nick Saban’s job with Alabama football before the 2024 season. As far as first seasons in the SEC go, DeBoer’s 9-4 campaign wasn’t bad, though it fell short of the lofty expectations Crimson Tide fans held after Saban won six national titles in Tuscaloosa. Speaking to reporters at SEC spring meetings on Tuesday, DeBoer fielded a question about what surprised him the most about the South. According to the coach, it wasn’t recruiting the area, nor the quality of play across the SEC. “I think when you move around– I’m…
It’s no secret that Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is one of, if not the best, coaches in college football. He led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022, and aside from his first season, has never had a year below double-digit wins. It’s easy to overlook Smart’s greatness in the moment, but CBS Sports’ Josh Pate believes that the Bulldogs will be set up in the future because of what Kirby is doing right now.
