Does the Knicks' Run Force the Cavs to Be More Aggressive?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
With the Knicks on the verge of sweeping the Spurs in the NBA Finals, Ken and Anthony debate whether watching New York win a championship with Karl-Anthony Towns should make the Cavs more aggressive in pursuing a blockbuster trade this offseason. Ken makes the case that the Cavs cannot realistically compete for a title with Donovan Mitchell as their best player, and that leaning on Evan Mobley as the franchise cornerstone is a gamble with no guarantee of a payoff. The guys also wrestle with the uncomfortable reality that the same people who said Carl-Anthony Towns could never win are now watching him potentially take home Finals MVP, which makes it harder to be definitive about any player's ceiling.
