The Cleveland Browns introduced a new head coach, Todd Monken, earlier today. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who is also a co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, spoke with media members following today's introductory press conference and briefly addressed the prospect of the Bucks trading Giannis Antetokounmpo. "Giannis is a top three, top four player in the world," Haslam said. "He brought Milwaukee its first championship in 50 years several years ago, and he's a really good person too. He's no problem. He's a great leader, tries hard. "And I think Giannis and the Bucks — and I think this goes back before we were involved — have always worked closely to see what's best for Giannis and what's best for the Bucks, and we'll continue to do so. "

" While that doesn't give fans much insight into which way the Bucks might be leaning 48 hours before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, Haslam was also asked a follow-up question: What does a successful trade for Antetokounmpo look like, if there is one? "That's a question for (general manager) Jon Horst," Haslam replied.
Over the weekend, a new name was added to the victim list: Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. While he was playing against Baltimore on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field, authorities say masked thieves broke into his suburban Cleveland home and took more than $200,000 worth of items. In a statement, Medina County sheriff’s deputies said thieves entered the home at 6:46 p.m. and left at 6:58 p.m., right around the time the Browns game against the Baltimore Ravens ended. Sanders played the second half, going 4 for 16 for 47 yards as the Browns lost 23-16. The thieves made off with “several high-value items,” police said.

Sources tell cleveland.com that youngster Evan Mobley will not play against the Heat because of a sore left knee that kept him from participating in shootaround. Mobley, who received treatment Friday morning and was wearing a sleeve around the knee, could be looking at a multi-game absence.
Sources tell cleveland.com that Cavs center Jarrett Allen will make his season debut Friday night against the Indiana Pacers. Point guard Darius Garland is also returning from a nagging hamstring injury, allowing Cleveland to finally unleash its expected starting lineup -- Garland, Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus and Evan Mobley.
Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett has finalized a deal to purchase a minority stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers, the NBA team announced Wednesday. Garrett will also serve as an official brand ambassador for the Cavs. "As a leader on and off the field, Myles has become a Cleveland icon and shares in our organization's commitment to being a transformative force for good across the region," Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said in a statement. "We are honored to welcome this long-time friend of the team as our new partner and investor.
CEO and founder Mubarak Malik spent eight years in the Garden keeping the Knicks healthy, and Kyle Kuzma won a title while drinking it. “I’m very excited for an organization of first class like the Brooklyn Nets to carry us. It’s big,” Kuzma said. “They care about their players’ health and clearly (it shows) by making a move like that.” While Barcode supplies the Patriots, Browns and others, the Nets are the first official sports drink partnership they have with any NBA team. “It wasn’t like we were soliciting a bunch of different teams. The Nets branding just from the bottle (in) black-and-white, it’s New York City. I felt like they do a lot more grassroots initiatives with the kids. So it made sense,” Malik said. “The Nets are the first one we officially decided to partner with because of the synergy and the brand and what they were doing with inside their operations team.”

Shams Charania: Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry is completing the sale of his Bucks stake to Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Haslam Sports Group for a $3.5 billion valuation on Friday, sources tell me and @eric_nehm .
Jimmy Haslam offered up the first public comments on his impeding purchase of a significant share of the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday at the NFL owner’s meetings in Arizona. Speaking to Ohio reporters, Jimmy and Dee Haslam — owners of the Cleveland Browns — said the purchase of Marc Lasry’s 25% is still weeks away from NBA approval so they didn’t want to get into specifics, but did say Wes Edens would assume governorship of the team while the Haslam Sports Group learns the NBA business.
"It's opportunistic," Jimmy Haslam said of the impending purchase. "I mean listen, we never thought we'd own 10% of the Steelers. Never thought we'd own the Browns. Dee and I had never been, beside watching (daughter) Whitney play high school soccer, had never been to a soccer game. So it's just opportunistic. It was straightened set of circumstances; we were called on this opportunity. Business, sports, you tend to be optimistic. I have no idea what will happen next. First thing's first, let's get this done and then let's get the Browns winning games."
