Ken Says He'd Trade Evan Mobley for LeBron and Jaylen Brown

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Lima talk through whether the Cavs should trade Evan Mobley to land both LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, building on Brian Windhorst's report that James Harden opting out and LeBron's willingness to take a discount could set up a bigger roster shakeup. After weighing the defensive tradeoffs and shaky fit between Mobley and Jarrett Allen, Ken lands on yes, arguing a Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, LeBron, Jarrett Allen, Harden lineup gives the Cavs a better shot at a title right now than staying the course with Mobley. Lima pushes back throughout, worried about closing the championship window and replacing what Mobley provides on defense, while Ken counters that the current core, as good as it's been, still hasn't gotten them a ring. They close by fantasizing about LeBron's kids potentially joining the mix down the road as a bonus to the move.
