Does the Knicks' Run Force the Cavs to Be More Aggressive?
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
With the Knicks on the verge of sweeping the Spurs in the NBA Finals, Ken and Anthony debate whether watching New York win a championship with Karl-Anthony Towns should make the Cavs more aggressive in pursuing a blockbuster trade this offseason. Ken makes the case that the Cavs cannot realistically compete for a title with Donovan Mitchell as their best player, and that leaning on Evan Mobley as the franchise cornerstone is a gamble with no guarantee of a payoff. The guys also wrestle with the uncomfortable reality that the same people who said Carl-Anthony Towns could never win are now watching him potentially take home Finals MVP, which makes it harder to be definitive about any player's ceiling.
