​City of Cleveland: stop what you're doing.





Mute the ALCS. Let Francisco Lindor work his magic in silence.





Sound the alarms, because after months of wandering the streets untethered by a contract, your patron saint of shirtlessness, J.R. Smith, is finally back in the fold.

​​And the timing couldn't be more perfect.





With the season set to kick off within a matter of weeks, it was only fitting that GM LeBron finally took his "friend" hat off and put his "finances" hat on.





After palling around with Smith at the Indians' Game 2 victory over the Red Sox, it seemed like the reported "far-apart" financial figures that obstructed a new contract would soon dissipate. The dollar figures here seem quite standard.

And really, could he possibly have played elsewhere in 2016-17? People were speculating Boston...really? For Brad Stevens?





No. J.R. was always meant to win a city's first ring, then stick around to defend his own cockiness. Welcome back, Mr. Torso.
