Why Are the Celtics and Thunder Both Calling About Evan Mobley?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Ken and Daryl Ruiter make the case for holding onto Evan Mobley, pointing out that the two teams reportedly interested in trading for him, the Celtics and Thunder, are exactly the patient, pick-hoarding franchises that have built championship cores the right way. They play Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus arguing Mobley's age and size make him more valuable long-term than Jalen Brown, plus another replay of Channing Frye's criticism that the Cavs' chemistry issues won't be fixed by adding LeBron. Ken warns that trading Mobley only pays off if it actually results in a championship, otherwise the Cavs risk feeling sick about giving up their best asset for nothing. The segment closes with a preview of Bleacher Report's Greg Schwartz joining the show in five minutes.
