Do the Cavs Have to Choose Between Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Lima wade into the most uncomfortable question of the offseason after a producer says the quiet part out loud: a lot of Cavs fans would actually be more comfortable with Evan Mobley as the number one and Donovan Mitchell in the passenger seat, not the other way around. The Donovan criticism reaches a new level as Ken acknowledges this is the most national heat Mitchell has ever taken, and the lack of athleticism and burst in the Knicks series raised questions about whether what they saw was the beginning of a real decline. Kenny Atkinson keeping his job throws cold water on the idea that massive changes are imminent, and Ken warns that this team could very easily walk into October with the same roster while fans keep waiting for a Giannis trade that may never come. 01:11 - Browns Trade Speculation 05:55 - Criticism of Donovan Mitchell 08:11 - Evan Mobley's Star Potential
