That'd be totally relevant if they were at all similar players. Unfortunately, they are complete opposites. This was a terrible reach and a selection the Cavs are going to regret.

Green is an RFA this year though and while he's not good, some team will probably offer him a terrible contract forcing Boston to either match or let him go. If they are willing to pay Green, they should've been willing to pay Perk as Green will probably cost more to re-sign. If they aren't going to pay Green, then this trade would be even worse as it'd be swapping Green and Perk for one run at a title this year.

well that was underwhelming... http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2011/03/american_greetings_to_stay_in.html

Beans is awful, so glad he's not coming to Cleveland. This deadline has been insane, by far the most exciting one ever. Presti just raped Boston and Morey is pulling off some impressive moves for the Rockets too.

So happy with this trade. Mo is weakminded, injury prone, and has a decent chunk of change left on his contract. For the Cavs to turn that into a top 10 pick, albeit in a weak draft, is excellent. Not only that, but Baron is a guy who only cares when he's on a winning team. The Cavs are awful so he won't care at all next year.....which results in another top 4 pick for Cleveland! Rebuilds are fun. Maybe the Basketball Gods will be on the Cavs side this summer resulting in them winning the lottery and the Clips pick falling at #2 or #3. Or the Clips win the lottery and the Cavs get 2, 3 or 4. Either would be nice haha. Now they just have to move Parker for hopefully another pick.

CQ Press released their annual crime rankings...way too many Ohio cities in the top 50 :| http://os.cqpress.com/citycrime/2010/City_crime_rate_2010-2011_hightolow.pdf For comparison, here's the 2009 list: http://os.cqpress.com/citycrime/2009/CityCrime2009_Rank_Rev.pdf

No. There were 4 murders since the 17th according to crimereports. One in Lakewood too which is quite surprising.

Gilbert continues to invest in Cleveland :clap: Dan Gilbert to bring entrepreneurship boot camp to Cleveland CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Dan Gilbert, the majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, announced today that he will bring a non-profit entrepreneurship boot camp called Bizdom U to downtown Cleveland next year. Gilbert made the announcement while accepting the 2010 Ruth Ratner Miller Award from the Downtown Cleveland Alliance at the group's annual awards luncheon. The award recognizes people who have made major achievements in advancing and enhancing the center city. Bizdom U is a four-month to six-month training program in subjects including marketing, sales and finance. During the training process, the entrepreneurs develop plans for businesses that must be located within the urban core. Gilbert founded the program in Detroit in 2007 and plans to open up the first Cleveland boot camp to as many as 20 entrepreneurs in 2011. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/10/dan_gilbert_to_bring_entrepren.html

Make the "premier nightclub district" (which doesn't even have great clubs in the first place) more family friendly? How does that make sense? Families aren't going to be out at 9PM or later and if you want to add an ice cream shop or amusement park ride (wtf?), it should be done elsewhere in Cleveland, not in an area where people go to party.

Less teams doesn't mean less nationally televised games. It could actually be better for the networks because there will be more slots open for teams that draw more viewers.

You seem pleased with the building, any idea why most seem to regret moving there? http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/OH-Cleveland-Stonebridge-Waterfront-Apartments.html

Both but most games are played in arenas. Hope Cleveland gets this...

What exactly is going on with the Tudor Arms project? Every time I drive down Carnegie it looks the same. Are they still securing funding? It was mentioned in the comment section for the article about the Courtyard. The reporter said:

LMN Architects unveil detailed concept for the Cleveland Medical Mart It's too soon to declare the initial designs for the new Cleveland Medical Mart a success. But the latest renderings of the project, for which MMPI Inc. of Chicago wants to break ground by Jan. 1, are highly encouraging. Among other things, they show a building with facades of glass and precast concrete panels arranged in lyrical geometric patterns that uncannily and unintentionally echo the Op Art paintings of the internationally renowned Cleveland artist Julian Stanczak. The building's overall shape and scale would enable it to fit nicely with its early 20th century neoclassical neighbors around the Mall in the city's Group Plan district, including Public Auditorium, Cleveland City Hall, the Cleveland Public Library and the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. But the spirited facades, which create a pixelated pattern inspired by and made possible by computer technology, would mark the building as something special and unique in Cleveland. http://blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/10/post_1.html
