Channing Frye had an interesting analogy for what he brings to the young Cleveland Cavaliers team. Frye believes that he acts as a “fire extinguisher” for the Cavs and he explains his reasoning that makes perfect sense. “My value comes from not taking a shot and giving our guys freedom of mind to think, ‘If […]

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.

The Cavs have moved to put an emphasis on their young players, which has resulted in DNPs for veterans like Kyle Korver, Channing Frye and J.R. Smith early in the season.

We’re only a week into the NBA season, but Tyronn Lue is already changing course with his plan for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

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. Unknown to most, behind the brilliant athletic display and the otherworldly plays, […]

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. Smith, after Cavs fan […]

Channing Frye is beginning his second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers and he’s thrilled to be back with the team he won a championship with.

Back in August, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith got a new tattoo. This was no ordinary tattoo, however.

And though most of the sporting world knew […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are hosting their annual media day gathering on Monday afternoon.

It seemed like months away from each other did not put any hindrances to Kevin Love’s close relationship with teammate and buddy, Channing Frye.

Channing Frye is back with the Cleveland Cavaliers. His first task: give his Cavs teammates that classic Frye roasting. His recent victim: Tristan Thompson.

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. Love is a quiet guy, for the most part. However, he has a great sense of humor. Instead of writing […]

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.

Cavs fans have very little to […]

Kevin Love got back on track in a big way in Game 2 against the Toronto Raptors. He played 35 minutes putting up 31 points, 11 rebounds, and two assists. He was 2-6 from deep, but each of the three-pointers seemed to come in a really key time of the game. For Love, it hasn’t […]
