Podcasts about harden trade

They analyze the Cleveland Cavaliers' disappointing playoff sweep and the impact of the James Harden for Darius Garland trade. The conversation shifts to the evolving value of small guards in the NBA and explores the feasibility of LeBron James returning to Cleveland for a retirement tour.

Ken makes the unfiltered case that the James Harden trade was the only move the Cavs could have made given the roster's salary constraints, depleted draft capital, and Darius Garland's depressed trade value — and anyone still calling it a mistake isn't watching the games. The bigger honest admission is that this window is likely two years max before the roster gets broken up, which makes tonight's Game 6 and whatever comes after it feel genuinely urgent in a way Cleveland fans haven't experienced since LeBron was here. With Harden holding Detroit to 37.5 percent shooting while carrying the offensive load for 43 minutes in Game 5, the trust debate is shifting — but Ken isn't pretending the squeamishness disappears completely when a must-win game six is on the line.

The Cleveland Cavaliers erased a 9-point deficit with under three minutes left, forcing overtime and escaping Detroit 117-113 behind 30 points from James Harden, 20 off the bench from Max Strus, and clutch buckets from Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. The win sparked a heated debate on 92.3 The Fan about whether the Harden trade has been validated — with hosts arguing the Cavs simply don't survive the Toronto series or climb back in this one without him. Now up 3-2 and heading home for Game 6, Cleveland fans are daring to believe again, but the question hanging over the city is whether this team has finally earned their trust — or if the other shoe is still waiting to drop.

Kendrick Perkins and others piled on James Harden nationally, calling him a liability on both ends, while Lima admitted he's eating crow over supporting the Harden trade. Lima and Baskin question whether Kenny Atkinson's job is on the line, given a $228 million payroll that looks helpless against Detroit's defense. A frustrated caller summed up the mood, saying he saw the red flags all season and believes the series is already over.

Jeff Phelps and Dan Menningen break down the Cleveland Cavaliers' commanding 2-0 series lead over the Toronto Raptors following a stellar performance from their star trio.
