Channing Frye had an interesting analogy for what he brings to the young Cleveland Cavaliers team.

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Channing Frye is one of the veterans on the rebuilding Cavs this season. Frye is kind of like a player-coach in the sense that he doesn’t play much so he’s relegated to being a mentor to the young guys and teaching them things from the bench. Frye showed off his multitasking […]

Dwyane Wade was only a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers for five months last season, but apparently that was enough time for the future Hall of Famer to check out the food scene in Cleveland.

Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star power forward Kevin Love has always been a picture of poise and composure on the court. The former NBA Cavs champion’s moves often look so mechanical on the court with rebounding, passing, shooting, defending — and doing the whole thing again.

On Tuesday, as the Cleveland Cavaliers prepared for their annual Big Shots and Little Stars fundraiser, the four Cavs that remained from the team’s “Big 3” model NBA Finals teams had to commemorate the moment. “Last of the Mohicans,” said Cavaliers All-Star Kevin Love. “Fantastic Four,” said Cavaliers shooting guard J.R.

And though most of the sporting world knew […]

In lieu of Channing Frye’s return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Love decided to have a little fun on social media, albeit at the expense of LeBron James’ now-famous “I’m Coming Home” letter from 2014.

After agreeing to a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Channing Frye is officially the first piece of the franchise’s post-LeBron James rebuilding phase.
