Cavs Fans Can't Be Fair to Anyone Until LeBron Actually Retires
Cavs Fans Can't Be Fair to Anyone Until LeBron Actually Retires  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken argues Cleveland fans have grown too quick to throw Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley into trade talks because LeBron James, still playing at a high level, remains the unfair standard everyone gets measured against. He and Lima also speculate Koby Altman may be quietly shopping Jarrett Allen rather than Mobley, since the two bigs can't effectively space the floor together in the playoffs, and toss around long-shot names like Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis as potential targets. Both hosts note that if LeBron ultimately signs elsewhere, the fallout and blame will unfairly land on Mitchell rather than the front office.
