The BIGPLAY Cleveland Show 07/28/26

Did the Cavaliers make the right call sticking with Donovan Mitchell over a LeBron James return? On today’s episode of the BIGPLAY Cleveland Show, Chef Zae, Max Loeb, and Jack O’Rourke dive deep into Scoop B’s bombshell report revealing why LeBron’s inner circle was skeptical of Cleveland’s backcourt structure—and why King James ultimately chose the Philadelphia 76ers over a storybook return home.

The guys debate whether Koby Altman and the front office made the right $273 million bet on Mitchell, how high-usage ball handlers mesh on the floor, and what realistic moves the Cavs can make right now to compete in an arms-race Eastern Conference. Could a swing for Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga move the needle, or is Cleveland’s core roster build hitting its ceiling?

Plus, former Cleveland Browns first-round pick and defensive anchor Phil Taylor joins the show in-studio! Big Phil takes us behind the scenes of Browns training camp in Berea, reflecting on his 2011 rookie year following the infamous Julio Jones trade, getting welcomed to the NFL by veteran offensive linemen, legendary practice scuffles in the August heat, and what it was like taking reps across from Hall of Famer Joe Thomas.

To wrap things up, the crew plays a high-stakes segment of Cleveland Sports Buy or Sell, tackling hot topics including Koby Altman’s hot seat, Shedeur Sanders' potential playing time, Todd Monken’s new offense, and whether José Ramírez will go down as a more beloved Cleveland athlete than LeBron James.
