Greg Swartz: Trade Mitchell Before Mobley
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report joins Ken and Daryl Ruiter and drops a surprising take, saying he'd sooner trade Donovan Mitchell than Evan Mobley given the massive supermax money Mitchell could command in two years. He explains why he wouldn't deal Mobley for Jalen Brown or even Giannis, calling Mobley the team's one true safety net given his age and team control. Swartz also breaks down why LeBron James wouldn't fix the Cavaliers' toughness and defensive issues even if he returned, and lays out his ideal offseason built around adding wing defenders rather than chasing a blockbuster. The conversation closes with a tease that Ken thinks there's an uncomfortable truth about Mitchell nobody wants to say out loud.
