Want to Move on From James Harden? Then Tell Us the Upgrade Plan
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Ken pushes back on the wave of fans calling for the Cavs to move on from James Harden, pointing to The Ringer's top 100 ranking Harden 30th in the league as proof he's still a legitimate piece. He argues Harden's heavy playoff minutes exposed how little the Cavs could rely on Mobley and Mitchell to create offense, not that Harden himself is the problem. Anthony counters that Harden simply carries a reputation that makes him an easy scapegoat on a team fans are already skeptical of. Both agree they'd ditch Harden for a real upgrade, but neither can identify what that upgrade would actually look like.
