Sam Merrill has made some big shots and missed some big shots. Through both, he's learned to focus less on what just happened and more on becoming better and preparing for what comes next. On this week's episode, Sam shares how a practice of daily repentance has influenced the way he approaches both his faith and his career in the NBA. "When you look at a team that is all in, it's every guy is doing the best that they can do to help the team win—whatever that looks like. There's a level of humility that that takes. You can have no pride, no egos, and everyone is focused on what really matters. And I think from a gospel perspective it's really similar. It's not all in on being perfect but having a constant desire to get better and to strive to be the best that you can be." 2:17- The Aggie Example of Returned Missionaries 4:32- Resilience and Dedication Learned in Nicaragua 13:18- A Temple in Cleveland! 18:20- Ready to Serve a Mission 21:16- The Support of a Spouse 23:01- Perspective Provided by Faith 25:06- Working for a Spot in the League 27:47- Donovan Mitchell and 'Money Merrill' 29:45- The Blessing of Going Home 31:31- Big Shots and Big Moments 36:44- What Does It Mean to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." ― Jenkin Lloyd Jones Brad Wilcox, "My Grace is Sufficient" - https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/brad-wilcox/his-grace-is-sufficient/

The Chicago Bulls finally have a legitimate defensive anchor in Nic Claxton — but their starting lineup still has one major question: who guards the Eastern Conference's elite perimeter creators?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down one of the biggest concerns surrounding Chicago's projected starting five of Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson and Nic Claxton. The Bulls have size, length and improved rim protection, but neither Giddey nor Powell is ideally suited to spend an entire game chasing players like Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, Donovan Mitchell, Cade Cunningham and other elite guards through screens.Nic Claxton should dramatically improve Chicago's backline defense, but even an elite rim protector cannot constantly clean up straight-line drives and blown screen coverage. If Chicago's point-of-attack defense fails, Claxton will be forced into two-on-one situations that create lobs, corner threes, offensive rebounds and foul trouble.That puts Isaac Okoro and Dailyn Swain directly into the spotlight. Okoro is Chicago's most proven perimeter defender, while Swain could become the long-term answer because of his size, length and versatility. But both create the same problem: Can they provide enough offense to stay on the floor late in games?Haize then dives into Chicago's most underrated offensive issue: free-throw generation. The Bulls averaged only 22.2 attempts per game last season, leaving too much of the offense dependent on pace and jump shooting. Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey and Norman Powell all have pathways to create more rim pressure and help Chicago survive nights when the three-point shot isn't falling.Finally, could Matas Buzelis moving to small forward unlock his next leap?Matas spent the majority of his rookie season at power forward, but Chicago's projected lineup now places Caleb Wilson at the four and Matas at the three. That could give Buzelis a major size advantage against opposing wings, more opportunities to attack mismatches and a clearer path toward developing the point-forward skills Tiago Splitter wants to unlock.But the move also demands more from Matas: stronger perimeter defense, better screen navigation, improved ball handling, faster passing reads and consistent shooting.

Should the Chicago Bulls stop chasing incremental upgrades and save their assets for the player who can actually change the franchise ceiling?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down one of the biggest questions of the Bryson Graham rebuild: when should the Bulls finally cash in their flexibility? Chicago has kept its books clean with Josh Giddey on a flat contract, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis on rookie-scale deals, movable veteran contracts like Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, Isaac Okoro and Jalen Smith, plus additional draft capital from the Ayo Dosunmu trade. That flexibility matters — but only if Graham uses it at the right time.Haize explains why Chicago should call about players like Jericho Sims, Jordan Hawkins, Peyton Watson and Scoot Henderson, but also why there is a major difference between a value move and a franchise-altering move. The Bulls still need to learn what Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey truly are before spending major assets on the wrong star or the wrong position.The show dives into the major evaluation questions: Is Caleb a No. 1 option, elite No. 2 or high-level starter? Is Matas a true second star or more of a third option? Does Giddey scale as the long-term playoff point guard? Which young players — Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller — are real rotation assets? And does the Wilson-Claxton frontcourt actually work offensively?Plus, Haize builds a Bulls star-target board featuring Paolo Banchero, Donovan Mitchell, Franz Wagner, Devin Booker, Evan Mobley, Zion Williamson, Tyler Herro, Michael Porter Jr. and more — while explaining why Chicago cannot spend superstar ammunition on secondary pieces.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima evaluate the career trajectories of Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson, questioning if Brunson has surpassed the Cavs star.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to the (still unconfirmed) news that the Cavs may open their season October 22nd on the road against LeBron James and the 76ers, calling it the one marquee moment on an otherwise flat schedule. They vent about the offseason malaise, revisiting the James Harden and Donovan Mitchell trades and questioning whether LeBron ever seriously considered returning to Cleveland, per Rich Paul's comments suggesting he preferred New York/Philadelphia. The two also gripe about the NFL cannibalizing Christmas Day and diminishing the final weeks of the regular season with playoff seeding largely decided early.

They analyze the fallout for GM Koby Altman and debate how the Cavaliers should pivot their roster strategy moving forward around Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley.
Lima and Lance revisit Jason Lloyd's comments and admit they went back and forth on whether the Cavs should have traded Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, with Lima arguing Oklahoma City's pursuit of Mobley signals real belief in his trajectory rather than a finished product. They debate how much more growth is realistic for Mobley entering year six, agreeing he still lacks a reliable go-to bucket in late-game playoff situations and questioning whether fans are expecting him to be something he's not. A caller named Josh pushes back on LeBron nostalgia, praises Donovan Mitchell for publicly embracing Cleveland unlike LeBron's repeated exits, and pitches Herb Jones or Cam Johnson as realistic trade targets if Denver looks to shed salary. The segment closes by teasing a Jason Lloyd quarterback comment that left Lima visibly stunned.
Danny Cunningham joins the show and argues the Cavs share real blame for LeBron picking Philadelphia, since Cleveland never matched Miami's Giannis addition or Philly's Jalen Brown deal before he decided. He pushes back on some of the reported "reasons" leaking from LeBron's camp, especially the idea that Donovan Mitchell staying was a dealbreaker, calling that unbelievable given Mitchell's production. Cunningham also breaks down realistic paths forward for Koby Altman, including a potential Denver salary-dump trade for Cam Johnson and a renewed look at Jonathan Kuminga, while stressing the real pressure now falls on Evan Mobley to justify the front office's faith in him.
Lima and Daryl Ruiter pivot from previewing Todd Monken's blunt, no-filter coaching style in Browns training camp to breaking down why the Cavs' offseason has stalled, explaining that the new CBA's second apron makes signing Jonathan Kuminga to the money he wants nearly impossible without a sign-and-trade. They debate whether trading away Max Strus, whom Lima compares to a young Matthew Dellavedova and Anderson Varejao, is worth it to get a needed athletic upgrade, while acknowledging the roster desperately lacks explosiveness and defensive versatility. The two also work through their complicated feelings on Donovan Mitchell's max contract, agreeing he's a needed scorer but not a true number one, and lean on the idea that 41-year-old LeBron and 37-year-old James Harden wouldn't have solved the team's youth and athleticism problem anyway.
Lima runs through a rapid-fire myth-busting list aimed at LeBron and Cavs narratives circulating over the weekend, shooting down claims that the Darius Garland trade or the James Harden pairing pushed LeBron away, and arguing the numbers actually favor the Cavs' roster moves. He pushes back hard on the idea Philadelphia's starting five is unbeatable given Joel Embiid's health, and dismisses the notion the Cavs "stink" by citing national analysts who still view them as conference finals contenders. Daryl Ruiter remains skeptical throughout, particularly on Donovan Mitchell's status compared to Tyrese Maxey, while the two debate whether a LeBron championship in Philadelphia would actually boost his GOAT case.

Ken and Anthony dig into the backlash Ken got for saying he'd be all-in on trading Jarrett Allen (and even Donovan Mitchell-adjacent pieces) if it meant landing Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving as part of a LeBron package deal. They argue the Cavs' contention window is tied to Mitchell right now, so bold roster gambles are worth the risk even if Davis's injury history and Draymond Green's public playoff criticisms of Allen complicate the case. Ken pushes back on fans who complain the Cavs can't compete but then balk at the kind of aggressive move it would actually take to get there, while both hosts stress they respect Allen's game and aren't trying to talk him down just to justify a trade.
The hosts dig into why LeBron's three-week free agency wait is starting to strain patience, wondering whether the delay is really about leverage, roster fit, or something more personal about wanting to come back at all. They explore the flip side of a "no," including how a snub could turn Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell and the current roster into scapegoats for missed trades like Giannis or Jaylen Brown. A charity golf outing the day before revealed real optimism among Cavs-connected people that LeBron is coming home, but there's also lingering fear he could pull a repeat of 2010 or 2018.
Hour 1 of the Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Ken and Anthony discuss Donovan Mitchell's side of the LeBron story and how he would take it if the super star doesn't return to Cleveland.

On this episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones is joined by Danny Parkins for a conversation that goes from the World Cup to the NBA free agency. Bo and Danny start with Team USA's loss to Belgium and what it says about the current state of American soccer. They break down the Balogun red-card drama, whether the U.S. benefited from a favorable draw, why this might still be the most talented team the country has ever put on the field, and whether the American youth soccer system is actually built to develop top-level players. From there, they shift to the NBA and dig into the Lakers' roster, Luka's fit, Bronny's possible role, and what kind of team Los Angeles is really trying to build. They also talk through the Celtics' roster decisions, the changing math of paying star players, and the most fascinating possible next chapter for LeBron. Then Danny delivers an all-time dispatch from suburbia, with stories involving a reported squirrel theft, a feud over chickens, kids cutting through a backyard, a police response to someone yelling about gas prices, and a suspicious potato chip bag that turned out to be exactly what you'd expect.
