In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor dig into whether the Cleveland Cavaliers need to make a substantial trade to reach the Eastern Conference finals. The conversation centers on why the front office is expected to stand pat ahead of the trade deadline, the internal belief in the Core Four, and how difficult it has been to find deals that would clearly elevate the team. Sands and Fedor explore the complications surrounding potential moves involving Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, walk through intriguing hypothetical scenarios — including Jrue Holiday and a Kyrie Irving reunion — and explain why any true roster-altering decision is more likely to come in the offseason.

Full Second hour of The Ken Carmen Show with Anthony Lima on December 31, 2025

Chris Fedor from Cleveland.com reported that Dan Gilbert is very unhappy with the way things are going with his very expensive roster and is getting more involved. What does this mean for Kenny Atkinson?

In this Subtext subscriber Q&A–driven episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor dig into the most pressing questions coming from the Cavs' most engaged fans and use them as a lens to examine where Cleveland stands right now. The guys start by unpacking the decision to give Craig Porter Jr. meaningful minutes over a struggling Lonzo Ball, breaking down what it says about the coaching staff's trust, lineup flexibility and how delicate in-season rotation tweaks are handled. From there, the conversation turns to one of the more unexpected storylines of the moment: Jaylon Tyson's emergence as a legitimate rotational piece, with insight into his work ethic, rapid growth and why the Cavs believe his game translates to playoff basketball. The episode closes with a deeper, more philosophical debate about Jarrett Allen's place in the organization. Is he truly the heart and soul of the team? How central is he to the Cavs' identity? And, in a league driven by roster calculus, how untouchable is he really? It's a fan-driven conversation that blends on-court analysis with bigger-picture roster questions as the Cavs navigate a pivotal stretch of the season. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Chicago Bulls season just keeps getting wilder

Yaron Weitzman, author of “A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers”, joins the Chuck ToddCast to unpack the remarkable rise, impact, and legacy of LeBron James—on the court, in Los Angeles, and far beyond basketball. Drawing from his reporting and authorship, Weitzman explains how access-driven sports journalism shapes the stories we’re told, why LeBron was always more than just another superstar chasing rings, and how the Lakers–LeBron partnership became a mutually saving force for two global institutions. The conversation traces LeBron’s path from Miami to Cleveland to Los Angeles, the myths around his ambition and loyalty, and how “The Decision” reshaped the power dynamics between players and franchises. The episode also looks ahead to LeBron’s next chapter: his eventual role as an owner, the possibility of a farewell tour, how Bronny factors into his decisions, and what a post-LeBron Lakers era might look like. Weitzman and Todd explore LeBron’s business instincts, cultural influence, complicated relationship with fans and social media, and why—despite universal respect—he’s never been universally beloved. In the end, they ask the defining question of any icon: how history will remember LeBron James, and who gets to tell that story. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck examines Donald Trump’s holiday Truth Social spree as a revealing window into his worldview and leadership style. From angry, vaguely threatening posts tied to Epstein to Christmas messages laced with grievance and insults, Trump’s online behavior paints a picture of a lonely, aggrieved figure who often sounds less like a head of state and more like a mob boss issuing warnings. Chuck unpacks how Trump’s rhetoric on immigration, religion, and military force—sometimes delivered in the same breath as holiday greetings—reflects a transactional “Trump Doctrine” where identity and loyalty justify power, and sovereignty becomes negotiable. The conversation then widens to the global consequences of this approach. Chuck argues that Trump’s selective isolationism and deal-making have badly damaged America’s reputation, eroded trust with Europe, and risk pushing allies toward China in search of stability. By prioritizing short-term wins and performative toughness over alliances and norms, Trump may be trading momentary leverage for long-term strategic loss—reshaping the global order in ways that could haunt the United States for a generation. Then, Yaron Weitzman, author of “A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers”, joins Chuck to unpack the remarkable rise, impact, and legacy of LeBron James—on the court, in Los Angeles, and far beyond basketball. Drawing from his reporting and authorship, Weitzman explains how access-driven sports journalism shapes the stories we’re told, why LeBron was always more than just another superstar chasing rings, and how the Lakers–LeBron partnership became a mutually saving force for two global institutions.

In the end, they ask the defining question of any icon: how history will remember LeBron James, and who gets to tell that story. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to the date Ellis Island closed its doors for immigrant processing and traces the messy history of immigration policy in the United States. He also answers listeners’ question in the “Ask Chuck” segment and does a roundup from the world of sports. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince. Don't wait!
