If LeBron Tamed JR Smith, He Can Handle Draymond Green Too
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Fri Jul 10 2026
Description: Ken makes the case that if LeBron could turn JR Smith, once reviled by Knicks fans, into a beloved Cleveland fan favorite, he can absolutely keep Draymond Green in line for one season. He argues Cavs fans hated LeBron himself more than they'd ever hate Draymond during his Miami years, yet came around within a few seasons, so a similar redemption arc is plausible. The hosts acknowledge Draymond's history of losing his cool in big moments but insist his business partnership and documentary plans with LeBron give him every incentive to behave. A caller, Thomas from Shaker Heights, adds that Draymond could be the tough "big brother" Evan Mobley needs, comparing it favorably to the fallout from the Jordan Poole situation.
