Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue Aug 11 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to the (still unconfirmed) news that the Cavs may open their season October 22nd on the road against LeBron James and the 76ers, calling it the one marquee moment on an otherwise flat schedule. They vent about the offseason malaise, revisiting the James Harden and Donovan Mitchell trades and questioning whether LeBron ever seriously considered returning to Cleveland, per Rich Paul's comments suggesting he preferred New York/Philadelphia. The two also gripe about the NFL cannibalizing Christmas Day and diminishing the final weeks of the regular season with playoff seeding largely decided early.
