They discuss the league's legal justification regarding gambling policy and how this serves as a warning to other athletes.

| 6/24/26 | ![]() Hour 4: Anthony Lima and Brian Geltzeiler Clash Over James Harden | Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate the possibility of the Cavaliers trading Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown following reports of interest from the Celtics. An interview with Brian Geltzeiler turns sour when he and Lima get into a fiery disagreement regarding James Harden's impact on the court. They wrap up by analyzing recent draft picks and the internal expectations for the Cavaliers organization. 01:55 - Cavs Trade Rumors 06:15 - Mobley Vs.

| 6/24/26 | ![]() Ken Draws the Line: Cavs Can Beat Anyone but the Knicks, Thunder and Spurs | Ken argues the Cavs front office quietly accepted at the trade deadline that the Eastern Conference Finals was this year's realistic ceiling, once Rich Paul effectively forced the Darius Garland for James Harden trade and left no time to build chemistry. He pushes back hard on fans wanting a "punitive" shakeup just to feel something, insisting a Jaylen Brown deal would only stack the backcourt, age the roster, and shrink the championship window without fixing anything real. Ken draws his line in the sand: as built, this team can't beat the Knicks, Thunder, or Spurs, but it can beat everyone else in the East, so patience matters more than a splashy move for its own sake. He closes the show thanking Brian Geltzeiler, Mike Florio, and Danny Cunningham for a packed morning of Sorsby and Cavs debate. | 7m 51s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Brian Geltzeiler and Lima Get in Heated Argument Over James Harden | Brian Geltzeiler joins to weigh in on a possible Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown swap and says he'd make the deal as Boston but isn't convinced as Cleveland, arguing Mobley's offensive ceiling has been capped by usage rather than talent. The segment derails into a heated argument when Anthony pushes back on Geltzeiler calling James Harden's Eastern Conference Finals performance "humiliating," comparing it unfavorably to Victor Wembanyama, and Geltzeiler abruptly threatens to hang up over the disrespect before the call actually drops. After patching things up, Geltzeiler argues the Cavs have a roster structure problem, with Mobley miscast next to Jarrett Allen instead of playing center outright, and says running the same group back next year guarantees the same result. He closes things out on a lighter note, confirming AJ Dybantsa was the right pick at number one in last night's draft. | 21m 23s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Celtics Want Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, Lima Says Bye Bye Unicorn | Per NBC Sports Boston's Chris Mannix, the Celtics' real trade target isn't Donovan Mitchell, it's Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, and Anthony surprises Ken by saying he'd actually pull the trigger on it. Ken pushes back hard, arguing Mobley's talent is too tantalizing to give up and that the move solves a wing problem while creating a new one on the interior, leaving Dean Wade as the team's primary frontcourt defender. They pivot into an argument over whether Jarrett Allen, not Mobley, should be the one on the trade block given how much he's outperformed his bargain contract and helped win multiple Game 7s. The segment ends in chaos when a caller named Will claims the Knicks are overrated two weeks after winning the championship, and the guys roast him for one of the worst calls they've ever taken. | 14m 21s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() The NFL's Letter to Sorsby Is a Warning Shot to Every Player in College | Ken and Anthony argue the NFL's rejection letter isn't really about Sorsby specifically, it's a public message that the league will crush anyone who tries to fight its gambling-related decisions the way Sorsby fought the NCAA. They draw a comparison to Terry Rozier's NBA betting scandal, noting nobody's stopped wagering on the league despite it, and conclude the NFL's real motivation is protecting its own corporate gambling partnerships rather than any consistent integrity standard. Ken pushes back hard on critics who call lawyering up a character flaw, insisting that's simply what anyone with means does in this country. They close by teasing a separate Cavaliers trade angle, revealing the Celtics have interest in a Cleveland player for Jaylen Brown, but it isn't Donovan Mitchell. | 8m 54s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Mike Florio: "I Don't Know Why Sorsby Is the Pariah" | Mike Florio tells Ken and Anthony he doesn't think Sorsby plays football in 2026, walking through why every backup option, from the CFL to the UFL to non-NCAA ball, is a worse alternative than just preparing for the 2027 draft. Florio argues the NFL's actual case is shaky since the CBA contains no "purity test" for supplemental draft eligibility, and points out the league held a supplemental draft for Josh Gordon without issue, making this rejection look like a targeted departure from precedent rather than a real rules-based decision. He's most struck by the public reaction, questioning why Sorsby has become so much less sympathetic than Maurice Clarett or Terrell Pryor when no teammates have spoken against him and his betting habits were arguably a product of a sports culture the NFL itself profits from and normalizes. Florio closes by noting that even a team like the Steelers, with their own gambling-soaked ownership history, would have little real principled objection to drafting him. | 21m 53s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Bruce Pearl's Tweet Backfires, but Ken Says He's Onto Something Bigger | Ken and Anthony unpack Bruce Pearl's tone-deaf draft night tweet about family structure, but pivot to argue it actually exposes a real problem: NBA prospects increasingly come from wealthy, hyper-specialized youth sports backgrounds that have priced out the "rags to riches" path entirely. They riff on how AAU circuits, private trainers, and travel academies have turned youth sports into a haves-versus-have-nots system across every major sport, predicting football is next. They also break down the NFL's letter to Brendan Sorsby, debating why the league stopped short of an outright suspension and whether a running back accused of the same gambling violations would have been treated this harshly. Plus, the crew gives producer John an earful about his "totally platonic" Florida trip. | 14m 36s | ||||||

| 6/24/26 | ![]() About Last Night: Guardians Can't Hit and the Cavs Trade Their Pick | Ken and Anthony bring in producer John to rip the Guardians' lineup after another loss drops them a game back, pointing out the offense has fallen to among the worst in baseball in nearly every major category over the last three weeks. Ken argues firing the hitting coach is a symbolic move that won't turn struggling bats like Gabriel Arias into real threats, and floats suspicion that MLB's own baseballs have quietly changed. They also dig into the Cavs trading their 29th pick for second-rounders, with Ken shutting down a fan theory that Dan Gilbert is being cheap by walking through the actual second apron cap restrictions forcing the move. They wrap with some lighter banter on the World Cup and England's shaky tie against Ghana. | 10m 21s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Should the Cavs Run It Back? Danny Cunningham Says That's Not Enough | Danny Cunningham joins Ken and Anthony and shoots down trading Donovan Mitchell, arguing a top-10 player who actually wants to be in Cleveland is too rare to give up, and he's skeptical Jaylen Brown is even the right target if Evan Mobley were on the table. He flags Jarrett Allen, not Mobley or Mitchell, as the most realistic trade chip given his rising value, and warns that mid-season shakeups like trading for a new starter rarely produce a title that same year. Danny also pours cold water on a midseason fix-it strategy, pointing out the rest of the East is improving too, so simply running it back and being "better" may not be enough to get past Boston, New York, or Indiana. He closes by laying out the case for LeBron's return hinging entirely on whether LeBron prioritizes winning over comfort or money. | 18m 39s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Should the Cavs Trade Donovan Mitchell for Jaylen Brown? | Ken backs Nick Wilson's proposed Donovan Mitchell for Jaylen Brown swap straight up, arguing Brown ages better and fits cleaner alongside Evan Mobley, even though he admits the Celtics almost certainly say no. He and Anthony keep circling back to an uncomfortable parallel: every "untouchable" guard from Jarvis Allen to Darius Garland eventually became the convenient trade chip, and now Donovan is getting the same treatment. They debate whether Evan Mobley has to be the actual centerpiece of any real shake-up after his strong playoff run, and whether the Cavs even have a realistic path to improve without getting older and shrinking their championship window. Ken closes by warning that Miami, not just Boston or Indiana, might be the team Cleveland should actually be worried about next season. | 14m 28s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Did the NFL Make an Example out of Brendan Sorsby? | Citing Albert Breer, Ken and Anthony lay out the theory that the NFL knowingly picked a fight it might lose in court because making a statement on gambling and protecting its betting partnerships mattered more than the legal risk. They question why the league is handling this centrally instead of letting all 32 teams vet Sorsby's character the way they do every other draft prospect, and wonder if a contrition requirement even exists in the supplemental draft rules. A caller pushes back that the NFL is "holier than thou" given how it's handled other off-field issues, while still agreeing Sorsby has to be accountable for placing thousands of bets. Ken predicts the league drags this out until Sorsby simply gives up the fight and waits for the 2027 draft instead. | 10m 41s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() Sorsby Denied by NFL, Ken Says This Fight Is Just Getting Started | Ken pushes back on fans crying hypocrisy over the NFL's gambling partners, arguing personal responsibility still applies even if Sorsby was technically a legal adult when the betting happened. He contrasts the public reaction to Sorsby with Maurice Clarett two decades ago, noting Clarett was treated sympathetically despite his own violations while Sorsby has become an unsympathetic villain simply because he's already been paid. Ken predicts Sorsby goes on a PR offensive with workout videos and "changed man" messaging, betting that every bad outing from Julian Sayin or LaNorris Sellers only keeps his name in the conversation. He closes by floating that the real distinction here may be that Sorsby is a quarterback, a position the league seems far less willing to gamble on than a wide receiver. | 12m 38s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | ![]() NFL Rejects Sorsby, Ken & Lima Say This Saga Is Far From Over | The NFL denied Brendan Sorsby's supplemental draft bid, citing a missed paperwork deadline that his own attorney insists doesn't even exist as a category on the application. Ken and Anthony trace how this went from a Browns subplot to a national story touching the NCAA, the CBA, and attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who they note has a track record of beating the league in court. They dig into the gambling numbers themselves, questioning whether 90,000 bets and a six figure profit really separates Sorsby from guys they know personally, and whether the league's stance is hypocritical given its own gambling partnerships. They close by debating if Sorsby was ever truly a top prospect or just a guy with traits and a great agent pitch. | 22m 41s | ||||||
