CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In 2015, I bought into the whole Return of the Native mystique. I thought LeBron James could turn lead into gold. Or at least turn Matthew Dellavedova into nearly a $38.5 million player over the life of his new four-year MIlwaukee Bucks contract.
I was right about Delly, wrong about the Finals.
I didn't make a pick in The Plain Dealer last year, but I did pick Golden State in seven games when interviewed on the West Coast, which probably violates several rules of handicapping.
This year, I'm going with the Cavaliers in six.
