Should the Cavs Trade Donovan Mitchell for Jaylen Brown?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Ken backs Nick Wilson's proposed Donovan Mitchell for Jaylen Brown swap straight up, arguing Brown ages better and fits cleaner alongside Evan Mobley, even though he admits the Celtics almost certainly say no. He and Anthony keep circling back to an uncomfortable parallel: every "untouchable" guard from Jarvis Allen to Darius Garland eventually became the convenient trade chip, and now Donovan is getting the same treatment. They debate whether Evan Mobley has to be the actual centerpiece of any real shake-up after his strong playoff run, and whether the Cavs even have a realistic path to improve without getting older and shrinking their championship window. Ken closes by warning that Miami, not just Boston or Indiana, might be the team Cleveland should actually be worried about next season.
