Anthony and Harrison discuss the Lakers hiring their first of two assistant GMs and the nagging questions that have been bugging Anthony. They also discuss the Knicks dominating the Cavs and the impact that might have on LeBron James' offseason.
Anthony and Harrison continue their conversation about the Lakers' efforts to become more like the Dodgers and the speed bumps they've run into, as people around the league aren't sure who will be in charge for how long. They also touch on the Knicks run through the east and, more importantly for Lakers fans, the Cavs falling squarely on their face. LeBron can't possibly look at that and think Cleveland is a better spot to end his career than Los Angeles.
92.3 The Fan presents a collection of the most heated debates from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima, Baskin & Phelps, and Afternoon Drive on The Fan about the Cavs' next steps following their humiliating sweep by the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals, and their run raises a fascinating team-building question: how did they build a championship contender without relying on homegrown lottery picks? Wes Goldberg is joined by Gavin Schall of Locked On Knicks to break down how New York built its Finals team around Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Unlike past Knicks regimes that chased shortcuts with moves like Eddy Curry, Joakim Noah, Andrea Bargnani and Steve Francis, this version of the Knicks showed patience, adjusted the roster over time and built a real championship formula. Then, John Wilmes of RealGM joins to talk about the biggest NBA offseason questions. What should the Cleveland Cavaliers do after falling short? Where could Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kawhi Leonard land if they hit the trade market? What happens with Ja Morant? And which surprise stars — including Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Alperen Sengun and Zion Williamson — could become trade candidates?

Jaxson Dart introduces President Trump at a rally, sparking criticism on X from Abdul Carter before the two smooth things over. Boomer calls Carter's social media response "childish and immature," adding that Dart is too flamboyant for the Giants fan base and needs to perform first like Jalen Brunson. Jerry's has Mike Breen's call of the Knicks sweeping the Cavs, with Brunson earning series MVP. Meanwhile, the Yankees beat the Royals to move 10 games over .500, the Mets lose again as Nolan McLean surrenders seven runs. Finally, Henry in Queens checks in after being proven right about getting rid of Thibs, and Jerry Recco calls in from downstairs while waiting for Boomer's breakfast.
We continue our Knicks talk as a caller credits James Dolan, whose decision to fire Thibs looks like the key to their dominant run over the last two series. Jerry's update features Mike Breen highlighting a careless Cavs team, Charles Barkley claiming Cleveland quit at halftime, and Jalen Brunson explaining the Knicks' success. In baseball, Anthony Volpe fuels a Yankees comeback against the Royals, while the Mets lose again after Vientos strikes out on a pitch that actually hits him. Finally, Boomer spotlights the upcoming movie Pressure, Gio shares his desire to see Disclosure Day, and Rami officially takes over the position of the retiring Eddie.
The Knicks sweep the Cavs to head to the Finals behind series MVP Jalen Brunson, fueling Boomer's 2007 Giants comparison, pricey ticket talk, and courtside drama with Fat Joe and Evan Roberts, while Anthony Volpe wins it for the Yankees, the Mets drop their fourth straight, and the Astros throw a no-hitter. We then credit James Dolan for firing Thibs, hear Charles Barkley claim the Cavs quit, track another Yankees comeback and a bizarre Mets loss, preview upcoming movies, and see Rami take over for Eddie. Next, Jaxson Dart's political rally appearance sparks social media drama, Boomer demands Dart perform like Brunson, Nolan McLean struggles in another Mets defeat, and Jerry Recco waits downstairs for breakfast. Finally, we look at Finals ticket pricing, relive the sweep with Positive Tommy's screams, deliver Boomer's sports minutes impression, and take caller feedback on movie food and Rami's first-day grade.
Jerry starts with the sounds of Mike Breen as the game comes to an end to send the Knicks to the NBA finals. Jalen Brunson was awarded the MVP trophy for the series. Also, Anthony Volpe had a 2-run single that ended up winning the game for the Yankees. The Mets lost their fourth straight game, this time to the Reds.
Jerry with the sounds of Mike Breen as the Knicks complete the sweep of the Cavs. We heard from Positive Tommy screaming after the Knicks game.

We started the show with the Knicks completing the sweep of the Cavaliers. They are not just winning, they are dominating their opponents.
Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Mike Breen and the Cavs being very careless with the basketball. Charles Barkley, at halftime, said the Cavs quit. We heard from Jalen Brunson on why they've been so good. The Yankees came from behind to beat the Royals in KC thanks to Anthony Volpe. The Mets lost again and Vientos struck out on a pitch that hit him.
We talk about the Knicks making the Finals, what tickets for Games 3 and 4 at the Garden will go for, and how another long layoff could hurt them in Game 1. Jerry's final update features Mike Breen's call of the Knicks sweeping the Cavs and Positive Tommy screaming after the victory. Meanwhile, the Yankees beat the Royals behind Anthony Volpe's game-winning hit, but the Mets lose again as Nolan McLean gives up seven runs. Finally, our Moment of the Day highlights Boomer's impression of the sports minutes, followed by callers wondering what food Boomer gets at the movie theater and what grade Rami deserves for his first day.

Mitchell's postgame declaration of loyalty lands hollow for a fan base that never fully bought in, and Ken spends the segment trying to diagnose the disconnect between a team that reached the final four and a city that couldn't fill the plaza outside the arena. A caller named Rodney lays out the case methodically without calling for a teardown — three-point defense, lazy transition defense, turnovers, and a coach who waited too long on timeouts are fixable problems, not reasons to blow it up. The Knicks get their flowers too, with Ken admitting Landry Shamet shooting better than Curry and Thompson ever did in the playoffs is legitimately historic, and reluctantly conceding he's rooting for them while Lima absolutely is not.
Anthony Lima and Ken Carman evaluate Donovan Mitchell's refusal to comment on rumors surrounding a potential LeBron James return to Cleveland. They debate the job security of Kenny Atkinson and whether the franchise should consider dismantling the roster or pushing for another star under Dan Gilbert's ownership. 01:00 - Mitchell on LeBron Rumors 03:54 - Atkinson Job Security Debate 07:42 - Cavs Identity Crisis Analysis 10:05 - Blowing Up the Roster 15:46 - Dan Gilbert Timeline Assessment
Ken Lima analyzes the Cleveland Cavaliers' disappointing sweep in the Eastern Conference Finals and the unique pressure of NBA stardom. They compare the team's current state to past Cleveland sports failures while debating the future of Donovan Mitchell and the coaching staff. 01:00 - Cavs Sweep Reaction 03:25 - Comparing Sports Embarrassments 06:41 - NBA Star Disrespect 10:11 - Roster Coaching Changes 12:07 - Donovan Mitchell Critique
Ken and Lima get into a heated back and forth after the Cavs were blown out by 37 in Game 4 to get swept out of the Eastern Conference Finals, with Ken making his most definitive statement of the season: he cannot see how this team comes back with the same roster or Kenny Atkinson as coach. Lima pushes back by arguing fans are holding the Cavs to an unfair LeBron standard, pointing out that the Knicks were down 2-1 with their own fan base calling for the coach's job just weeks ago. A caller makes the sharpest point of the segment, comparing frustrated Cavs fans to Steelers fans who want Tomlin fired despite going to the playoffs every year, which Ken concedes is fair but says is simply human nature after seeing what LeBron-era greatness looked like. Ken closes with his bottom line: the embarrassment of this sweep has him mentally checked out and ready for the offseason.
The argument between Ken and Lima spills completely off the rails as they try to answer one simple question: what would it actually take for Cleveland fans to care about this Cavs team again? Ken keeps landing on the answer that LeBron James set an impossible standard that no version of this roster will ever meet, while Lima pushes back that demanding a top-three player in the league just to generate excitement is a insane bar for any fan base to set. Coach Lance adds some actual credibility to the Watson-over-Shedeur conversation in the middle of everything, making the case that a veteran quarterback knowing a new offense gives the Browns a real head start heading into the fall. Charles Barkley calling the Cavs quitters on national television at halftime does not help anyone's mood, and the question of whether Atkinson survives the week hangs over the whole morning.
92.3 The Fan presents a collection of discussions surrounding the Cleveland Cavaliers getting swept by the New York Knicks from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima, Baskin & Phelps, and Afternoon Drive on The Fan. The guys try to wrap their heads around Kenny Atkinson's postgame analytics defense and James Harden's baffling press conference comments, plus, trying to figure out whether the Cavs quit or not. That and more on Best Of Cavs on 92.3 The Fan!
Ken delivers the most honest postgame assessment yet, acknowledging the Cavs are trapped in a spot where they cannot realistically blow it up, cannot easily upgrade, and cannot pretend a 37-point elimination loss at home felt like progress. Callers are split between wanting Atkinson gone immediately and recognizing that firing a coach does not solve the fundamental ceiling problem with this roster. The Evan Mobley debate gets its most heated airing of the season, with Ken pushing back hard on the idea Milwaukee would not want a 24-year-old defensive force in a Giannis deal, and the uncomfortable truth underneath all of it is that unless something dramatic happens this offseason, Cavs fans are probably heading into next year feeling exactly the way they felt heading into this one.
Kenny Atkinson's postgame comment about analytically being up 2-1 in the series lands as one of the worst things a coach could possibly say after getting swept, and Ken predicts he could be fired before lunchtime given how Dan Gilbert thinks like a fan. The Evan Mobley question gets its most honest airing yet, with a caller making the case that his playoff aggression in the paint is exactly what the next step looks like, and Ken and Lima acknowledging that his trade value after this run is high enough that a Giannis deal could realistically center around him. The broader message heading into the offseason is that one brutal quote and one embarrassing series finale should not erase what this team actually accomplished getting further than they have since LeBron left.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to the Cavaliers' devastating 37-point playoff loss and the future of head coach Kenny Atkinson.

Brian Geltzeiler joins Ken and Lima to break down the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff exit and the organizational crossroads ahead. They discuss the future of head coach Kenny Atkinson, the impending Donovan Mitchell extension, and why the James Harden trade failed to deliver. The conversation also explores potential pursuits of stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and the reality of a LeBron James return. 02:07 - Brian Geltzeiler Joins 05:10 - Roster Construction Issues 09:44 - Kenny Atkinson Future 12:45 - Giannis Sweepstakes Realities 18:45 - Knicks Finals Chances 23:30 - Coaching Change Debate 28:10 - Evan Mobley Trajectory 36:40 - Fan Defense Discussion 42:40 - James Harden Usage
Ken comes out firmly against a teardown despite the humiliating sweep, arguing that going from one of the final four teams in the NBA to a 20-win rebuilding project is not the answer, especially when you don't own your own picks. The Harden divide gets its full autopsy here — Ken can't reconcile why fans loved the Sexton-Garland teams that accomplished nothing but turned on the Hall of Famer who actually got them to the conference finals. The window is probably one more year, Kenny Atkinson's job security is already a question, and Dan Gilbert's personality as an owner makes a true rebuild almost unthinkable.
