Fear the Newsletter: media day recap

Hello everyone and welcome to today's 'Fear the Newsletter', where we get back in the swing of things after a long break.

If you have questions, concerns or complaints, drop me an e-mail at christopherwmanning@gmail.com.

Here's a quick rundown of every Fear the Sword story posted yesterday during media day:

• David Griffin announces that Mo Williams has retired
• David Griffin says that the Cavs have made a 'highly competitive' offer to J.R. Smith
• Cavs have contacted Kirk Hinrich, Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole
• Cavs sign Jonthan Holmes to complete training camp roster

If you want to read a full recap of the day's events - including talk about potential protests - you can read a full recap here. There's also a new episode of 'Locked on Cavaliers' out now on iTunes, Stitcher or wherever else you listen to podcasts.

If you're looking for some more good Cavs reads, check out our entire #CavsRank series here. Every Cav, from James Jones to LeBron James, was ranked from No. 14 all the way up to No. 1.

If you're looking for a podcast to listen to, check out 'Locked on Cavaliers', a Cavs podcast in the 'Locked on Podcast' network.
