Lakers, Cavaliers get major update on ex-Warriors NBA champion Jonathan Kuminga from Shams by Jaggy Sports

Anthony comes back from the weekend with a slight update to the Jonathan Kuminga situation. Cam Johnson has been presented as a backup plan, but Anthony doesn't consider it particularly likely. He discusses all that, then dives into a lengthy and productive Q&A with the live audience.

Anthony updates the Jonathan Kuminga situation now that Mario Hezonja is back in the NBA and on one of the teams that was interested in Kuminga.

Lima and Lance react to Shams' report linking the Cavs to DeMar DeRozan and Klay Thompson, but Lima argues neither move addresses the real problem exposed in the playoffs: a lack of athletic wings, using OG Anunoby's ability to smother ball-handlers as the example of what Cleveland is missing. They debate whether Jonathan Kuminga is worth chasing despite two teams giving up on him, with Lima insisting his freak athleticism and playoff scoring upside outweigh his shooting limitations. The conversation turns to team-building philosophy, questioning whether Jarrett Allen still fits alongside Evan Mobley and whether the Cavs deserve more credit for how far they got despite a late-season shakeup with James Harden.

Jason Lloyd of The Athletic joins Lima and Lance to explain why the Cavs have no realistic offseason moves left, calling Jonathan Kuminga their best remaining option while cautioning it's the end of July with nothing great on the market. He argues Evan Mobley now faces unfair pressure as the "you could've had Jalen Brown or LeBron instead" comparisons pile up, and that Jaylon Tyson needs a full training camp to find his fit alongside Harden, Mitchell, and Mobley. Lloyd shoots down the idea that keeping Darius Garland would've changed LeBron's decision, calling that framing unfair to the Cavs, and says he doesn't buy any cap-circumvention conspiracy around LeBron's Topps deal. He closes by ripping the Browns' quarterback situation as exhausting "nonsense," saying he has zero interest in watching Deshaun Watson play again and expects Cleveland to draft a quarterback in 2027.

Jeff Phelps and Dan Menningen explore a Cleveland Cavaliers offseason simulation, debating whether to trade Jared Allen or retain James Harden. They analyze Evan Mobley's potential for a breakout season and evaluate potential small forward acquisitions like Trey Murphy III or Jonathan Kuminga. The conversation also transitions to the start of Cleveland Browns training camp as veterans report for the season. 01:50 - Browns Veterans Report 06:09 - Pelicans Trade Options 09:22 - Trading Jared Allen 12:52 - Evan Mobley Development 17:01 - Small Forward Upgrades 23:42 - Harden And Mitchell Fit 27:46 - Eastern Conference Outlook 31:20 - Koby Altman Simulator 37:20 - Mobley Shooting Concerns

Jeff Phelps and Dan Menningen analyze the Cleveland Cavaliers' offseason needs and the challenge of balancing ball usage between James Harden and Donovan Mitchell. They examine potential additions like Jonathan Kuminga and Dalton Knecht to help the team compete in a crowded Eastern Conference. 01:00 - Cavs Roster Strategy 04:12 - Kenny Atkinson Factor 05:54 - Potential Trade Targets 08:49 - Eastern Conference Outlook 12:34 - Small Forward Options

During the 3pm hour of today's show Chuck & Chernoff talked about the Braves getting blown out in by the Mets. They discuss the Atlanta Braves lineup + needs at the deadline, Falcons Training Camp starting tommorrow. Jonathan Kuminga, the Hawks, and a thanksgiving invitation to Chuck coming from Ben Watson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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 explains the seemingly contradictory stance that he doesn't blame LeBron for leaving but will boo him anyway, since LeBron is now trying to win a championship at the Cavs' expense in the same conference. He and Daryl Ruiter also air frustration over people in LeBron's camp allegedly toying with fans and manipulating prediction markets during the speculation. The conversation pivots into Cavs roster talk, with Ruiter making a strong case for pursuing Jonathan Kuminga as a needed athletic upgrade over Dean Wade, while crediting James Harden for delaying his extension to give Koby Altman cap flexibility.

Anthony Lima and Daryl Ruiter analyze the news of LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers and what it means for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They discuss the influence of agent Rich Paul on the NBA landscape and debunk various myths surrounding the superstar's free agency process. The conversation also explores potential roster upgrades for Cleveland, specifically regarding Jonathan Kuminga. 02:58 - Mario Hezonja Joins Cavaliers 06:00 - LeBron James Joins Sixers 10:10 - Rich Paul Reporting Contradictions 16:40 - LeBron's Next Career Purpose 21:30 - Rich Paul's Agency Power 27:35 - Misreading Free Agency Clues 32:00 - Anthony Lima Booing LeBron 39:10 - Jonathan Kuminga Trade Intel

Jonathan Kuminga, the Hawks, Mike Tyson and more before being joined by MLB.com Insider for the Atlanta Braves, Mark Bowman. Later in the hour the guys talked about Tennesssee Football. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff and Dan break down the Cavs' addition of Mario Hezonja, agreeing it's a solid but modest signing given his six-year absence from the NBA, and stress the team shouldn't lean on him as any kind of LeBron replacement. They still push for Jonathan Kuminga as the missing piece, though Phelps worries about overloading him offensively, and float alternatives like Jeremy Sochan or a trade for Trey Murphy to fix the roster's shooting problem on the wing. A caller named BP argues LeBron made a mistake picking Philadelphia given Joel Embiid's injury history, sparking pushback from the hosts who insist Embiid just needs to be healthy by the playoffs to make the Sixers a real threat.

Chris Fedor joins Jeff Phelps and Dan Menningen on the program to explain why LeBron James chose the 76ers over a return to Cleveland, citing basketball fit and the desire to build a new legacy. They discuss the Cavaliers' interest in Jonathan Kuminga and the financial hurdles involved in a potential deal. Fedor also emphasizes that Evan Mobley must become an offensive focal point for the team to succeed this season. 01:41 - Chris Fedor Interview 05:50 - LeBron James Legacy Discussion 09:47 - Jonathan Kuminga Trade Interest 14:35 - Evan Mobley Performance Pressure 18:51 - Schröder and Strus Rumors

He also explains how this move hammers home a concern he had with the Lakers' intentions going into this summer. He wraps with a Q&A after discussing this trade's impact on Jonathan Kuminga.

Anthony got some info recently about how the Lakers are using their summer league team that he thinks presents these games through a very different prism. He offers up that intel, gives his thoughts on the approach, then dives into a lengthy Q&A with the live audience that (of course) hit on the Jonathan Kuminga situation.

Anthony breaks down this whole Jonathan Kuminga by outlining which lies various parties are telling, as part of a lengthier Q&A session.

Anthony and Andy run through the scenario where the Lakers don't wind up with Jonathan Kuminga, then answer a few questions from the live audience.

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are coming off a Summer League week that didn't go the way anybody in Vegas planned, and they've got a full show sheet to prove it. They open by picking apart the Wizards shutting down rookie AJ Johnson, detour into an actual geography lesson about where you can find a Piggly Wiggly in Georgia, and Rob gets reminded that talking trash on this show always finds its way back to him — this time from Wizards fans after he named Washington his League Pass dark horse.   From there it's a real basketball conversation. Horry breaks down training his son Christian in the gym for the first time in two years, and the guys dig into Jonathan Kuminga's stalled free agency before getting into the biggest story of the summer: Victor Wembanyama turning down the supermax to keep his young Spurs core paid. Horry explains why that move says more about Wemby's character than any stat line could, and the three of them go back and forth on whether he could become the first basketball billionaire — just not off American endorsement deals.   The Bam Adebayo–Tyler Herro dust-up gets the full breakdown, including Tim Hardaway's comments about Heat culture and what it actually means to have your guy's back in a locker room. Then it's LeBron for the better part of twenty minutes — who's really leading the sweepstakes between Cleveland, Golden State, Philly, and Miami, why Draymond Green opting into free agency might be a tell, and how weird it is that people are treating LeBron's every move at Fanatics Fest like a decision-day clue. They close out the trade talk with where things stand on Kawhi Leonard, the ongoing NBA investigation, and why the Clippers front office has more explaining to do than Adam Silver let on.   Once the basketball talk wraps, Avery Woolery — an 11-year-old kid from Kentucky who jumped in a pool to save a drowning man when the adults around him didn't — gets this week's Big Shot. And then the guys close out with a wild round of Black Crime or White Crime, headlined by maybe the strangest arson story any of them have ever read on air.   00:00  Cold Open: Vegas Summer League Fallout 01:00  AJ Johnson Shut Down & Rookie Development 03:00  Piggly Wiggly Rabbit Hole 04:30  Wizards Dark Horse Pick Comes Back to Bite Rob 06:00  Horry's Week: Disney Trip & Training Christian 08:00  Kuminga Free Agency & Lakers Buzz 09:30  Wemby Turns Down the Supermax 14:00  Could Wemby Be Basketball's Next Billionaire? 16:00  Bam vs. Tyler Herro: What Really Happened 18:30  Heat Culture Debate & Tim Hardaway's Comments 22:00  LeBron Sweepstakes: Who's Really In the Mix 26:30  LeBron and Draymond's Unlikely Friendship 27:30  Decoding LeBron's Decision Timeline 29:00  Cleveland, Philly, or Golden State? 33:00  Weighing Miami's Case in a Loaded East 37:00  Kawhi Trade Stuck in NBA Investigation Limbo 41:00  Free Agency Roundup: Trent Jr. & Clarkson 42:00  Big Shot of the Week: 11-Year-Old Pool Hero 43:00  Black Crime or White Crime
