Is Kevin Love To Cavs A Done Deal? NBA Scout Zak Baris Joins Host Brian Engelman.

August 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes NBA scout Zak Baris to discuss if the Kevin Love to Cleveland Cavaliers is already a “done-deal” trade.

– Why can’t the Cavs just keep Andrew Wiggins & sign Kevin Love next offseason for nothing?
– Who else could be included in the Timberwolves deal to the Cavs? Could we see Mo Williams rejoin Andy & LeBron in Cleveland?
– How smart of an idea is it for Kevin Love to sit out the IOC basketball tournament with a potential trade looming in 3 weeks? (shortly after recording this show, Paul George suffered a gruesome leg injury proving that it is VERY smart to sit this tournament out).
– Is it insane to think that Ravens RB Ray Rice has been suspended for 2 games for knocking out his girlfriend on video & dragging her from an elevator, while Browns WR Josh Gordon might be banned for a full season for testing slightly over the limit for weed (which he blames on second hand smoke exposure), after already passing 70 drug tests.
– Will the Clippers sale just become final already?
– Why were the Cleveland Indians “sellers” at the trade deadline (shipping P Justin Masterson & SS Asdrubal Cabrera away).
– What should we make of a Browns fan urinating on the grave of former Browns owner Art Modell?

Plus: Just for the fun of it, let’s review the 2009 NBA draft to see how that has worked out for all of the teams and players 5 years later.

& Much more!

Will LeBron “Take His Talents” To Cleveland? Spurs Trounce Heat For Title, W/ NBA Scout Zak Baris

June 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes NBA scout Zak Baris to talk about the San Antonio Spurs defeating the Miami Heat in the 2013-2014 NBA Finals.

Special Guest Damien hall also joins the program to chat hoops.

Plus,

– Where will LeBron & Carmelo be playing basketball next year?
– Did LeBron just enroll his children in Ohio schools for next year? If true, does this mean that James has already made his “decision” to return & play for the Cavaliers next season?
– If LeBron returns to Cleveland, who will be the next coach?
– Think about a lineup that includes Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, the #1 pick in this year’s upcoming draft as a new “Big 3” but younger.
– Could Carmelo Anthony or Kevin Love end up on the Cavs roster as well?
– Who should the Cavs pick at #1? New reports hint toward Joel Embiid, but Jabari Parker, & Andrew Wiggins look like pretty good options as well.

& Much More.

Shelly Sells Clippers, But Will Donald Sterling Fight? Could Steve Ballmer Take Team To Seattle?

May 31, 2014 by Leave a Comment

On this episode of The Unhappy Hour, host Brian Engelman discusses:

– Josh Gordon was recently arrested for a speeding violation, which is not a big deal, but his passenger was arrested for possession of weed. Not good news.

– The SEC wants to have some more leverage on the benefits they can provide their players, or they are threatening to leave Division 1 so that they could start a Division 4 & make their own rules.

– Brian still doesn’t feel as though sports teams should be owned by a person or two. The Green Bay Packers are owned by their shareholders who are the residents of Green Bay. Why should a person be able to ruin sports for the fans? Art Modell stole the Browns from their fans in Cleveland, & now some people are wondering if the Clippers could end up in Seattle.

– Will the Clippers sail run smoothly, or will Donald Sterling follow through with his 1 billion dollar lawsuit against the NBA?

May 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes Zak Baris to talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers who just won the NBA draft lottery for the second time in 2 years, & the third time in 4 years.

Will this be enough to get the Cavs back into the playoffs?
Will the Cavs make a trade with the Timberwolves to acquire Kevin Love?
Will the Cavs pick Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker, or Andrew Wiggins?
Will the new pick encourage Kyrie Irving to sign an extension this Summer?
Will all of this help lure coach Cal to run the Cavs?

Also,….Can you remember why all Cavs fans should be thankful to Clippers owner Donald Sterling?

Plus,….as people begin to wonder if the NBA lottery is rigged, it would be a good time to wonder if Michael Jordan was quietly banned from the NBA in 1993 because of a reckless gambling addiction?

– New NBA commissioner Adam Silver dropped the hammer on Sterling, leveling a 2.5 million dollar fine, & Sterling has also been banned from the NBA for life.
