After another disappointing playoff exit, the Cleveland Cavaliers have another offseason filled with a ton of difficult decisions. Standing pat appears to be the best option for the Cavs, but that’s going to be a hard sell to a fanbase that’s seen the team fall flat on its face in the playoffs for three consecutive years. To that end, perhaps they would be more willing to entertain trade offers for some of their core players, including All-Star point guard Darius Garland. One popular suggestion is for the Cavs to send Garland to the Orlando Magic in a trade that would…
The Cleveland Cavaliers already project to have a large payroll in the 2025-26 campaign, and they haven’t even re-signed guards Sam Merrill and Ty Jerome, both of whom were valuable pieces off the pine for them this season. As such, the Cavs have some options they need to explore this offseason, and it appears that some trade action could be on the table. Cleveland wing Isaac Okoro could be a trade candidate. However, one of the NBA’s other 29 teams needs to be interested in acquiring Okoro in order for the Cavaliers to make a trade happen, and according to…
Grading the Wisconsin Badgers: How every team finished this season in all UW sports ByMark Knight|Jun 16, 2025 It is now officially the offseason for all the sports at Wisconsin, and let’s look around the department to see how they all fared. Wisconsin recognizes 23 official athletic-sponsored sporting programs, 12 women’s and 11 men’s programs. The following is a list of where each sport ended after the last school year.

A disastrous 5-7 2024 campaign marking the program’s first losing season since 2001—what was arguably supposed to be a home-run hire, ended up dog-walking the Badgers straight into the abyss. To say Luke Fickell is on the proverbial “hot seat” of CFB coaching would be an understatement. Year three is now a referendum on his entire tenure—zero margin for error and pressure so immense it can put Hugh Freeze’s situation to shame. And if maybe, as a Badger, you thought Luke Fickell might somehow redeem himself. Well, unfortunately for you, Wisconsin’s schedule just handed Fickell a shovel and pointed him straight…

A multitude of questions surround Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. One of the league’s most oft-injured signal-callers missed six games in 2024 due to a concussion and hip injury, and Tagovailoa’s history of physical ailments is a real concern. The Dolphins needed their franchise guy on the field last year, as their season was a wash once he went down, going 2-4 in the games the Alabama product missed, en route to an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs for the first time in the Mike McDaniel era. Tagovailoa needs to find a way to stay consistently healthy, and that’s easier…
