Should LeBron Come Back to Cleveland or Stay in LA?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue May 12 2026
Description: Ken and Lima dive into the LeBron James retirement and free agency question after the Lakers were swept by Oklahoma City, bringing in audio from LA sports radio insider Bill Reiter who says sources are split 50-50 between LeBron returning to Cleveland or staying with the Lakers. Ken admits that bringing LeBron back to Cleveland is probably a pipe dream given the salary cap and second apron constraints, but can't help fantasizing about what a LeBron-Cavs reunion would look like with this current roster. Lima also recaps a wild scene from his neighborhood where a tree service crane tipped over and damaged two homes, bringing out police, fire, city engineers, and half the street with lawn chairs to watch the "extraction." The segment wraps with Ken firmly believing LeBron's best basketball decision is to stay in LA with Luka, even if his heart wants to see him finish in Cleveland.
