LeBron to Cavs Could Mean Trading Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown

Description: Ken and Lima break down the LeBron James free agency chaos after Brian Windhorst's report that LeBron would take below market value to sign somewhere, with the Cavs among the suitors. James Harden's contract opt out and lack of restructuring details are seen as a signal he's clearing cap space to help lure LeBron and facilitate a bigger roster move. That fuels speculation the Cavs could flip Evan Mobley to Boston for Jaylen Brown, even though the front office has insisted for weeks that Mobley isn't going anywhere. Ken and Lima also note the Cavs letting Dean Wade and Keon Ellis walk as another sign something bigger might be in motion.
