Justin Termine: LeBron Going to Golden State Makes Zero Sense

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Justin Termine joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima, opening with a callback to their previous heated debate, before tackling LeBron James' future and the Cavs' offseason direction. Termine argues LeBron's flirtation with Golden State is bizarre given Steph Curry's rivalry status and notes the Cavs actually offer LeBron a better shot at a title than the Heat or Warriors, while also explaining why the league's lack of interest in trading for Jaylen Brown despite his MVP pedigree should worry Cleveland more than the analytics community's skepticism. He pushes back hard on Ken's idea of trading Donovan Mitchell for Brown, calling Mitchell the better and less divisive player, but says he would consider moving Evan Mobley only for a true superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo. The conversation closes with Termine detailing Brown's inconsistent off ball defense and high usage rate as legitimate reasons analytics view him so negatively despite his playoff heroics.
