Lebron shocked the basketball world for a second time. Now that he’s back, can the Cavs finally build a team that can hoist a championship banner at the Q? Other teams in the East are not standing still. The Browns are about to get training camp under way. The Gladiators are preparing to host a playoff game. And the Indians start the second half by taking three of four from the Tigers. Lots to talk about. And Tom is in studio this week. It’s GameTime!

• 
  
• What a crazy week. News was expected on Wednesday, then delayed as a courtesy to Pat Riley. By Friday morning Clevelanders were getting nervous. Would he stiff us again?
  
• No TV show this time, just an elegant, humble letter penned to Sports Illustrated.
  

• 
  
• Johnny Manziel, the Republican National Convention and Lebron. What’s not to like?
  
• Las Vegas has installed us as the favorite to win the NBA Title, but LBJ says not so fast.
  
• Mike Miller, great shooter, signed with the Cavs on Tuesday. He gave up more money and a longer deal with Denver to play with LBJ here and maybe get some revenge against the Heat who amnestied him two years ago (angering many Heat teammates).
  
• James Jones signed for 1 year on Wednesday.
  
• Ray Allen expected to either retire or follow LBJ here for one year.
  
• Kevin Love trade talks appear stalled. Minnesota insists on getting Andrew Wiggins in return. The Cavs don’t want to move him.
  

• 
  
• We’re heading to Browns Training Camp on July 29th from 9:30-12:00. Come say Hi!
  
• Johnny Football is about to start working for real. Hopefully this minimizes his free time.
  
• Position battles everywhere. New RBs, new WRs, new CBs, new LBs and Safeties.
  
• Tate and West at RB. Gilbert and Haden at CB. Whitner in at Safety. Holes at WR that someone will have to fill while Gordon is out.
  

• 
  
• Can the good vibes extend to the Indians for a run in the second half? They started the right way by taking 3 of 4 from Detroit, with some good offensive production.
  
• GM Chris Antonetti says he needs to get more production from the guys they have invested in. Translated, don’t expect any bod moves by the trading deadline in 2 weeks.
  
• Michael Brantley at the All Star Game (went 0-1). Corey Kluber finished 4th of 5 in fan voting for the final position on the squad.
  
• Upcoming schedule.
