Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Fri Jul 24 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony open with a lighthearted riff on Ken's rejected Ohio State law school application before pivoting to defend Ken's stance that Cleveland should be willing to trade for Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving if it helps land LeBron James, pushing back on critics who called the idea reckless. They argue LeBron has historically brought out the best in complicated teammates like Kyrie, J.R. Smith, and Matthew Dellavedova, and that a team desperate enough to want LeBron shouldn't suddenly balk at bold roster moves. The hosts also debate whether LeBron has already made his decision, siding with reporters like Brian Windhorst and Jason Lloyd who say even insiders don't know, while dismissing retirement or an Aaron Donald-style delayed decision as unlikely outcomes.
