Should the Cavs Actually Get Excited About the NBA Cup?

Ken makes the case for buying into the Cavs' NBA Cup group play schedule, headlined by a November 6th matchup against LeBron James and the 76ers, while Anthony and Tone needle him about the Cavs' rough Cup history (3-1 the first year but eliminated on tiebreaker, then 2-2 the last two years). They riff on whether the Cavs are in a "group of death," compare Cleveland's championship drought to pro wrestling's midcard titles, and take shots at James Harden's offseason conditioning and legal history versus Kawhi Leonard's. The conversation pivots hard into the Browns QB debate when caller Paul from Canton argues fans are right to want Deshaun Watson gone given his cost, age, and injury history, and that every Watson snap wastes evaluation time the team needs for the 2027 draft. Tony from Canton pushes back that the Browns are genuinely a QB away and could flip this year's first-round pick (from the Rams) for a difference-maker, prompting Ken to press him on why, if that's true, the team isn't just handing the job to Shedeur Sanders now instead of letting Watson eat reps.
