It's not quite the Heat Index, but ESPNLA Lakers beat writer Dave McMenamin (also wrote for NBA.com for a while) is coming to Cleveland to be the ESPN beat writer for the Cavs. Sounds like he'll be the day to day beat guy and the main guy that Sportscenter goes to for Cleveland related stuff but that Windy will still contribute some.
Living in LA, McMenamin is pretty solid, with pretty traditional journalistic approach/standards(i.e. not just a rumor mongerer/twitter gossiper). Just another reminder of how Cleveland is now the center of the NBA world next year, if not for the next 3-4 years. Some of the coverage might be annoying for those of us who prefer homegrown writing but the quality of stories and reporting happening with Haynes and McMenamin joining Lloyd and a Windy will be a lot higher than what we've been used to the last 4 years and that's a good thing.
