BREAKING: Windhorst leaving Plain Dealer to move to ESPN

This has been rumored for some time now. Minutes ago, Darren Rovell broke the news that it is official. Brian Windhorst, who began covering the Cavs in 2003 for the Akron Beacon Journal before moving to The Plain Dealer, will now be working exclusively for ESPN and ESPN.com, focusing on the Miami Heat. "It's been a long-term goal to be on [ESPN's] NBA staff," he told Rovell.
