Cleveland was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by the Indiana Pacers, ending what was a special season. More NBA news: Warriors Guard Undergoes Unexpected Offseason Surgery With the Cavaliers falling short once again in the playoffs, the front office could have some tough decisions to make on the roster. Many believe that Cleveland could move on from some pieces to give itself more of a chance next year. One of those moves could include All-Star guard Darius Garland. The tandem of Garland star Donovan Mitchell has been a major talking point for the Cavaliers, and it could see the team break up the duo. According to Chris Fedor of the Cavaliers could have a framework for a potential trade to send Garland to the Orlando Magic. Fedor speculated on how the two sides could come together on a deal. "I think there's a framework, and I say framework because salary stuff becomes very, very difficult for the Cavs. So, you're just talking about a general framework with an understanding that other pieces are probably going to have to be involved. Maybe a third team is going to have to be involved. matching salary becomes very very difficult when you're talking about the Cavs and the salary situation that they're in. But I think there's a framework of a deal between the Cavs and the Magic that would involve Darius Garland and Jalen Suggs."

More Photo byLosing Garland would hurt, but adding Suggs could be interesting. Cleveland would likely want more than just Suggs in return, but adding a defensive presence like Suggs could help offset some of the defensive issues that Mitchell has in the backcourt. For the season, Suggs averaged 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Suggs would be a clear downgrade on the offensive end of the floor, and losing Garland could hurt the playmaking of the Cavaliers. More NBA news: LeBron James Paycut Could Give Lakers Flexibility to Make Major Moves But after collapsing in the postseason, something needs to change on this team. It could see Cleveland move off of Garland or center Jarrett Allen this summer. If either player becomes available on the trade market, there will be plenty of teams vying for their services. This will be a major offseason for the Cavaliers, and one that could change the trajectory of the franchise for years to come.

Teen arrested in 2024 fatal shooting of homeless man in Long Beach
Homicide detectives have arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with the Nov. 24, 2024, fatal shooting of Frank Suggs, a 51-year-old man experiencing homelessness, Long Beach Police Department announced Friday. Following an investigation, detectives identified the Long Beach teen as the suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest. Officers with the department's Special Investigation Division took him into custody on Thursday. The suspect was processed at Long Beach City Jail and later transported to Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, where he was booked on suspicion of murder. He is being held without bail.

Mayor Adams aide Brianna Suggs back in former fundraising gig
Brianna Suggs, a longtime aide to Mayor Adams, is back in her old job fundraising for his campaign after being reassigned to an administrative role in the wake of an FBI raid on her home in November 2023. Suggs' Brooklyn apartment was the first home raided in the federal investigation into Adams' ties with the Turkish government, which eventually yielded corruption charges against the mayor. It's unclear exactly when Suggs, 27, resumed fundraising for the mayor. But in the past two weeks, Suggs reached out to at least one real estate executive to gauge interest in hosting a fundraiser for the mayor's reelection bid, sources familiar with the matter told the Daily News. Todd Shapiro, a spokesman for Adams' reelection effort, confirmed Wednesday that Suggs has been involved in fundraising for the 2025 bid, but wouldn't say exactly when she got back to doing that. 'She has worked on fundraising for the mayor's winning campaign in 2021 and already has been instrumental in attracting additional supporters and forging new coalitions for the mayor's reelection efforts,' Shapiro said. Suggs has since March 2022 been paid a total of $450,160 by the mayor's reelection campaign, as of the latest disclosure filings released in March. That includes monthly retainer payments of $10,000 through the first few months of 2025. The payments were described as consulting work. She's a goddaughter of Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the mayor's former chief adviser who resigned just before she was hit with state bribery charges in December. Suggs started working for Adams as an intern at Brooklyn Borough Hall when he was borough president. Adams' indictment contains numerous references to Suggs and her work helping set up fundraisers for the mayor that drew illegal straw donations, but she was never charged with any wrongdoing by the feds. Adams' charges were dropped in April after President Trump's Department of Justice intervened. He's now seeking reelection as an independent, eschewing the Democratic primary in June. The news of Suggs' return to her old gig comes as Adams is preparing to host one of his first fundraisers since his charges were dropped. The fundraiser, set to be held Thursday evening at Capital Grille in Manhattan, is being hosted by Tony Delgado, a prominent Puerto Rican Trump supporter and founder of a Latino finance platform, Hugo Sanchez, the founder of a video conferencing company, and Alejandro Zayas, a minister and community leader, according to an invitation.

Ravens Legend Offers Shocking QB Opinion
The AFC North holds some bitter rivalries. Maybe no matchup between the four teams holds more meaning than when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens meet. Which is why it's so shocking when a former player who was involved in that rivalry comes out and has something nice to say about a player on the other side. Advertisement But that's exactly what happened when former Ravens linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion Terrell Suggs discussed his former rival and Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, on a recent episode of The Rory and Mal Podcast. "I would say [Ben] Roethlisberger is underrated," Suggs said. "He got more rings than [Aaron] Rodgers. He got more rings than [Drew] Brees. He got like more rings than [Dan] Marino. He's got as many as Peyton and Eli [Manning]. So I would say Roethlisberger, he's probably the most underrated." To say Roethlisberger is "underrated" seems odd, especially since he's typically mentioned with some of the top names to play the position. If you look at the list of names that Suggs mentioned in association with Big Ben, all but one - Eli Manning - are either Hall of Famers or considered sure-fire inductees. Advertisement Rodgers and Brees aren't in yet, but are commonly thought to be first-ballot Hall of Famers when their times come. Manning won two Super Bowls, both over the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, and has a good chance, but isn't considered a lock, and was a finalist for the Class of 2025 but did not receive the necessary votes.
