Fear the 'Fro has mourned our fall for approximately two seconds, and now it is time to attack offseason narratives, most pressing of which is..... "THE SKY IS FALLING! DONOVAN WILL LEAVE US!  WE MUST TRADE HIM NOW!"  Bob Schmidt, of Fox Sports Radio, is joined by Keith Smith, the salary cap guru behind Spotrac, to discuss everything that await the Cavs this summer, from a very financially-centered perspective.  Thank you for an incredible 2023-24 season of pod listening, but now.....
