US office vacancy sits at 13.8% while rents rise and inventory actually shrinks. CoStar's Phil Mobley breaks down the two-tier office market at mid-2026.  Phil Mobley, National Director of Office Analytics at CoStar Group, joins Michael Bull, CCIM to explain why the office headlines and the office market have stopped matching. National vacancy peaked at 14.1% a year ago and now sits near 13.8%, with four consecutive quarters of positive absorption totaling roughly 20 million square feet. For perspective, that full year of demand would have been one decent quarter in 2018.  The supply side is where this cycle breaks from history. New construction starts are running about 5 million square feet per quarter, a generational low, and for the past two quarters CoStar's data shows outright supply contraction: more office space is being demolished or converted than delivered, which has never happened before.  Mobley also corrects the most common misconception about the office recovery. It is not simply Class A winning and Class B losing. Trophy assets, the top 5% of inventory, are performing strongly, and solid B and B-minus buildings serving price-sensitive tenants held up better than most people assume. The real occupancy damage landed on A-minus and B-plus product caught in the middle: not distinctive enough to compete with trophy space, too expensive to compete on price. Also covered: why AI has been an unambiguous demand tailwind so far and the venture-capital risk hiding inside it, why return-to-office gains raise foot traffic without raising space needs, how New York and Dallas preview where the rest of the country is heading, why lease sizes have run 15% below pre-pandemic levels for nearly three years, and the capital markets shift as institutions climb back from 10% to 15% of office deal volume to around 20%, buying buildings to keep them as office. Plus the point every landlord should sit with: the total vacancy number is not the relevant number. Competitive vacancy is, and a landlord without capital to fund tenant improvements does not really have leasable space.

In this episode of the Always Better Than Yesterday Podcast, Ryan Hartley is joined by ceremonial facilitator, experiential leader and Trip or Fall producer Henry Mobley for a conversation that reframes one of humanity's oldest practices: ceremony.Far beyond rituals or plant medicine, Henry describes ceremony as an intentional space where people can reconnect with themselves, one another and something greater. He challenges the idea that ceremony belongs only in ancient traditions, suggesting instead that two people sitting together with presence, honesty and love can be in ceremony.Together they explore Henry's journey from anxiety, unworthiness and a successful corporate career into a life centred on conscious leadership, radical honesty and service. Through stories from experiential marketing, sacred traditions and his own personal transformation, Henry explains why our greatest breakthroughs often begin where comfort ends.Ryan and Henry also explore the relationship between connection and healing, discussing why so much of modern suffering stems from isolation rather than a lack of information. From community and relationships to identity, addiction and personal responsibility, this conversation invites us to rediscover practices that have helped human beings heal for thousands of years.At its heart, this episode is a reminder that transformation doesn't begin with having all the answers. It begins with creating spaces where truth is welcomed, people are seen and genuine connection becomes possible.ABOUT TRIP OR FALLTrip or Fall is a feature documentary exploring the role of ceremony, intentional community and legal therapeutic psilocybin through the lives of participants, facilitators and healthcare professionals.The documentary is directed by Lindsay Pitre, whom Henry warmly acknowledges for her vision and leadership in bringing the project to life, alongside executive producer Will and the wider team. Henry joined the project as both a facilitator and producer, helping guide participants through ceremonial experiences over the course of more than a year.Rather than focusing solely on medicine, the film asks a deeper question: What becomes possible when people are given an intentional space to reconnect with themselves and one another?Through real stories of preparation, ceremony and integration, the documentary explores healing as a communal process rather than an isolated event.The work highlights ceremony as a timeless human practice built on presence, relationship, humility and integration. Its aim is to encourage deeper conversations around healing, conscious leadership and authentic human connection.Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanCONNECT WITH HENRY MOBLEYWebsite:https://www.hm3.io/Instagram:http://instagram.com/hm3coachingLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/hm3beThe Sovereign Brief:https://sovereignbrief.netlify.app/CONNECT WITH ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAYWebsite:https://abty.co.uk/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Men's Group (Akira):https://abty.co.uk/akiraJoin our mailing list:https://abty.co.uk/contactSign up for coaching:https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to:mailto:podcast@abty.co.uk#HenryMobley #TheLostArtOfCeremony #SacredSpaces #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousLeadership #HumanConnection #AlwaysBetterThanYesterday #Podcast

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.

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.

Anthony Lima and Daryl process the fallout of LeBron James choosing the Philadelphia 76ers over a Cleveland homecoming. They analyze the impact of Kobe Altman's decisions, interview Danny Cunningham on potential roster moves, and discuss the mounting pressure on Evan Mobley. 01:50 - Jonathan Kuminga Rumors 05:24 - Blaming Kobe Altman 08:43 - Evan Mobley's Development 15:30 - Danny Cunningham Interview 21:40 - Potential Trade Targets 26:37 - Mobley's Max Pressure 34:10 - Guardians' Losing Streak 39:48 - Paul Hoynes Recognition 42:23 - Jerry Jeudy Statement

Jeff Phelps and Dan Menningen analyze Chris Fedor's assessment of the Cleveland Cavaliers' offseason and the pivotal role Evan Mobley plays in the team's future success. They explore whether the coaching staff and stars like Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland will prioritize Mobley's growth to elevate the franchise. 01:08 - Evaluating the Cavs Offseason 02:56 - Maxing Out Mobley's Potential 08:43 - Building Around Evan Mobley

Baskin and Phelps analyze the potential return of LeBron James to Cleveland and the significant roster sacrifices it might require. They debate rumors suggesting the Cavaliers trade young star Evan Mobley for veteran Anthony Davis to satisfy LeBron's championship timeline. Listeners call in to express their concern about dismantling the current core for a short-term title run with aging superstars.

There are always systems, practices, services, policies...all sort of things that are broken. Leaders may not want to admit that they're broken, but the are. Julie Mobley provides leadership strategies for fixing what's broken.

John Schuhmann joined Baskin and Phelps to discuss the latest news on LeBron James, whether or not he thinks the super star will come home to Cleveland, and how he would fit into the roster if he did. He also discussed the Cavs' roster without LeBron James, and if there's enough depth to make a serious run at an NBA title.

Why is it so many people think they don't have enough time? Why is it so many people want to learn time management skills? Julie Mobley introduces and explains the time management fallacy. Listen and learn...

Michael Doherty and Will Mobley return to talk about the continuing adventures of their very funny buddy comedy Dogberry & Verges Are Scared, which runs at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company through July 25, 2026, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from August 5-30, 2026 (with the RSC's own Austin Tichenor as Verges). Doherty and Mobley share how the play just keeps getting sharper and tighter; how the clowning manages to also provide insight into Shakespeare's characters and the plays from which they came; how audiences are surprised to encounter unexpected humanity; how it's inspired by Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead; the difference between watching the show from the audience and living inside the words as a cast member; how both authors lead from the codpiece; and the the vital importance of combining silly comedy with heart and humanity. (Length 22:23) (PICTURED, above: Anthony Lawton as Verges, Michael Doherty as Dogberry in the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company production of Dogberry & Verges Are Scared, directed by Matthew Decker, 2026.

Ken and Anthony debate a wild scenario floated on Kevin O'Connor's show: that Draymond Green could follow LeBron wherever he signs, forcing Cavs fans to decide whether they'd welcome a longtime villain who they believe cost Cleveland a championship. Despite Draymond being a shell of his offensive self, the hosts argue his toughness, edge, and willingness to get in teammates' faces could be exactly what a Cavs team widely viewed as "soft" needs, with rapid-fire caller polling confirming most fans agree. They weigh whether Jarrett Allen, not Draymond, would actually be the odd man out given his defensive limitations, and whether adding Draymond could ironically improve floor spacing for Harden, Mitchell, Mobley and LeBron. The segment closes with Ken and Lima agreeing they'd have never predicted Draymond as a real Cavaliers possibility but are now open to it if it means bringing LeBron home.

Ken and Anthony poke fun at insider Daryl Ruiter, whose prediction that Donovan Mitchell wouldn't sign an extension broke just minutes before Mitchell actually signed. The hosts then debate whether Mitchell's long-term commitment strengthens the Cavs' pitch to LeBron, with Ken arguing fans should thank Jalen Brunson's Knicks stardom for keeping New York from ever seriously pursuing Mitchell. Callers float the idea of trading Jarrett Allen and Max Strus for an injury-prone Anthony Davis, with Ken comparing AD to Joe Burrow, a player with a sky-high ceiling but a health record that makes the move risky. The segment closes with Ken laying out how Mitchell's extension, Mobley's presumed long-term future, and a potential Harden agreement could all click into place to make a LeBron return, and even an AD trade, more palatable for fans.

The segment closes with Ken laying out how Mitchell's extension, Mobley's presumed long-term future, and a potential Harden agreement could all click into place to make a LeBron return, and even an AD trade, more palatable for fans.

Ken and Anthony break down why the Cavs are essentially frozen in place waiting on LeBron, with the roster of Mitchell, Harden, Mobley and Allen unable to make any real moves until he decides, and free agency across the league stalled by the cap situation. They debate whether fans will lose patience if the decision stretches into August, while noting mounting circumstantial evidence, LeBron's Akron nostalgia tour and the Cavs hiring his friend Romeo Travis for Summer League, that suggests Cleveland is the frontrunner. Ken also pushes back on people dismissing LeBron's GOAT case by bringing up Elgin Baylor, arguing LeBron may feel disrespected after eight years with the Lakers. The segment closes with Ken and Lima agreeing they have no real leverage and simply have to leave the decision "in his court."

Andy and Jeff talk about other moves the Cavaliers could be making this off-season, and debate whether or not they'll be running back the same roster of Mitchell, Harden, Mobley, and Allen.

Ken and Anthony play a clip of The Athletic's Joe Vardon making the case that Cleveland is a strong LeBron fit not just for the roster, but because James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are true contemporaries he already has real relationships with, unlike younger stars on other contending teams. That leads into a debate over whether the Cavs' refusal to trade Evan Mobley is justified, with Ken and Anthony noting both Boston and Oklahoma City reportedly coveted him, and agreeing LeBron would likely want to play alongside Mobley given his two-way upside. A caller pushes for Mobley and Jarrett Allen to anchor the paint while moving Harden to a bench role. The segment closes with a lengthy World Cup tangent about Folarin Balogun's eligibility to play against Belgium after a red card controversy, with Ken again admitting his limited soccer knowledge while Anthony presses him on his contradictory level of engagement with the tournament.

Locked on Cavs host Danny Cunningham tells Ken and Anthony he believes LeBron James will end up back with the Cavs, though he stresses nothing is finalized and points to a critical window this week before things could start to feel uneasy. Cunningham pushes back on national takes calling the fit bad, arguing LeBron's playmaking, James Harden's adaptability, and Evan Mobley's defense would all mesh well, and predicts Jarrett Allen gets traded for more shooting and perimeter defense if LeBron signs. He also defends the Cavs' refusal to include Mobley in trade talks, comparing his value to what Jaylen Brown fetched, and says Kenny Atkinson's varied coaching experience gives him a real chance to handle a LeBron-led roster. The conversation closes with a broader discussion on how analytics have reshaped the NBA, with Cunningham noting the best teams use the data as a tool rather than a rigid rulebook.

Ken defends the Cavs' quiet approach after the Jaylen Brown trade, arguing Koby Altman has to stay tight-lipped about any Evan Mobley conversations so he doesn't damage the relationship the way a leak could. He points out player value is unpredictable right now, citing wild trade returns for Paul George, Luka Doncic and Desmond Bane as proof nothing makes sense in today's NBA anymore. Ken and Lima debate whether Mobley alone is enough to attract LeBron now that the Jaylen Brown scenario is off the board, while still bracing for angry fan reaction to the take.

Ken argues Koby Altman is handling the offseason exactly right by keeping any Evan Mobley or Donovan Mitchell trade talks completely under wraps, warning that leaking those conversations without completing a deal could leave Cleveland far worse off. He and Lima dig into the murky James Harden situation, noting nobody actually knows the terms of his restructured deal or whether he's truly committed to re-signing. The hosts also debate whether LeBron still has the star power to lure other big names to Cleveland the way he once pulled Anthony Davis to the Lakers, and question what Donovan Mitchell is really thinking about his future after this year's playoff exit.

Ken argues Cleveland fans have grown too quick to throw Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley into trade talks because LeBron James, still playing at a high level, remains the unfair standard everyone gets measured against. He and Lima also speculate Koby Altman may be quietly shopping Jarrett Allen rather than Mobley, since the two bigs can't effectively space the floor together in the playoffs, and toss around long-shot names like Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis as potential targets. Both hosts note that if LeBron ultimately signs elsewhere, the fallout and blame will unfairly land on Mitchell rather than the front office.

Ken and Lima break down the LeBron James free agency chaos after Brian Windhorst's report that LeBron would take below market value to sign somewhere, with the Cavs among the suitors. James Harden's contract opt out and lack of restructuring details are seen as a signal he's clearing cap space to help lure LeBron and facilitate a bigger roster move. That fuels speculation the Cavs could flip Evan Mobley to Boston for Jaylen Brown, even though the front office has insisted for weeks that Mobley isn't going anywhere. Ken and Lima also note the Cavs letting Dean Wade and Keon Ellis walk as another sign something bigger might be in motion.

Ken and Lima talk through whether the Cavs should trade Evan Mobley to land both LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, building on Brian Windhorst's report that James Harden opting out and LeBron's willingness to take a discount could set up a bigger roster shakeup. After weighing the defensive tradeoffs and shaky fit between Mobley and Jarrett Allen, Ken lands on yes, arguing a Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, LeBron, Jarrett Allen, Harden lineup gives the Cavs a better shot at a title right now than staying the course with Mobley. Lima pushes back throughout, worried about closing the championship window and replacing what Mobley provides on defense, while Ken counters that the current core, as good as it's been, still hasn't gotten them a ring. They close by fantasizing about LeBron's kids potentially joining the mix down the road as a bonus to the move.

Daryl Ruiter tells Ken and Anthony he's at 55 percent on LeBron returning to Cleveland but says he can't stomach the idea of him joining the Warriors after they took multiple championships from him. He explains why he wants the Cavs to move off James Harden quickly, viewing him purely as a vehicle to duck under the second luxury tax apron and give Koby Altman roster flexibility, while also taking issue with Harden's age, turnovers and defense. Ruiter also says he'd have rather traded Donovan Mitchell than Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, arguing Brown fits better next to Mobley. He closes by dismissing Johnny Manziel's renewed shots at the Browns and saying Brendan Sorsby's lack of a strong draft grade explains why teams are unwilling to deal with the off field baggage.

Ken pushes back on the wave of fans calling for the Cavs to move on from James Harden, pointing to The Ringer's top 100 ranking Harden 30th in the league as proof he's still a legitimate piece. He argues Harden's heavy playoff minutes exposed how little the Cavs could rely on Mobley and Mitchell to create offense, not that Harden himself is the problem. Anthony counters that Harden simply carries a reputation that makes him an easy scapegoat on a team fans are already skeptical of. Both agree they'd ditch Harden for a real upgrade, but neither can identify what that upgrade would actually look like.

Ken and Anthony open with news that James Harden declined his player option as the Cavs work on a new multi-year deal, then shift into some birthday banter after Ken admits he may have been "selfish" by skipping a celebration for his milestone birthday. A caller pushes for trading Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, but Ken pushes back, arguing Mobley still lacks a go-to move and a reliable jump shot, and that losing him likely doesn't get Cleveland past the East's best teams anyway. He adds that both Boston and Oklahoma City's interest in Mobley should make Cleveland cautious about moving him out of desperation.

Plus, the guys vent their frustrations over the Cavaliers' draft strategy of selecting yet another undersized guard instead of addressing their desperate need for frontcourt size, all while floating a blockbuster trade scenario involving Donovan Mitchell and Jaylen Brown.

Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report joins Ken and Daryl Ruiter and drops a surprising take, saying he'd sooner trade Donovan Mitchell than Evan Mobley given the massive supermax money Mitchell could command in two years. He explains why he wouldn't deal Mobley for Jalen Brown or even Giannis, calling Mobley the team's one true safety net given his age and team control. Swartz also breaks down why LeBron James wouldn't fix the Cavaliers' toughness and defensive issues even if he returned, and lays out his ideal offseason built around adding wing defenders rather than chasing a blockbuster. The conversation closes with a tease that Ken thinks there's an uncomfortable truth about Mitchell nobody wants to say out loud.

Ken and Daryl Ruiter make the case for holding onto Evan Mobley, pointing out that the two teams reportedly interested in trading for him, the Celtics and Thunder, are exactly the patient, pick-hoarding franchises that have built championship cores the right way. They play Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus arguing Mobley's age and size make him more valuable long-term than Jalen Brown, plus another replay of Channing Frye's criticism that the Cavs' chemistry issues won't be fixed by adding LeBron. Ken warns that trading Mobley only pays off if it actually results in a championship, otherwise the Cavs risk feeling sick about giving up their best asset for nothing. The segment closes with a preview of Bleacher Report's Greg Schwartz joining the show in five minutes.

Ken Carman and guest host Jason Lloyd weigh the pros and cons of trading Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown after rumors surface from Chris Mannix. They examine how such a move would impact Donovan Mitchell's future and the team's defensive identity. The conversation also covers a humorous early morning battle with raccoons and the drafting of Malik Thomas. 02:45 - Carman and Jason Lloyd Intro 06:00 - Ken's Garbage Can Raccoon Saga 12:03 - Solutions for Raccoon Problems 17:36 - Cavs Draft Malik Thomas 21:54 - Mobley for Jaylen Brown Rumors 26:11 - Importance of Big Wings 32:42 - NBA Front Office Perspectives 37:55 - Mitchell Future and Team Fit

Chris Mannix joins Ken Carman and Jason Lloyd to explore the possibility of a blockbuster trade sending Jaylen Brown to Cleveland for Evan Mobley. They break down the roster fit for the Cavaliers, James Harden's future alongside Donovan Mitchell, and the likelihood of LeBron James remaining in Los Angeles. The conversation concludes with a lighthearted look at Ken's home life and a debate regarding the Browns' quarterback situation. 02:15 - Chris Mannix Interview Begins 06:24 - Jaylen Brown Trade Fit 10:34 - James Harden Cleveland Dynamic 15:51 - LeBron James Lakers Outlook 20:21 - Trade Fit Logic Debate 24:13 - Evaluating Recent Cavs Success 33:05 - Ken Carman Garbage Story 39:40 - Browns Quarterback Future Debate

Chris Mannix reported that the Celtics have been calling around about Evan Mobley as a potential return piece in a Jalen Brown deal, and Ken and Jason Lloyd dig into whether Cleveland should pick up the phone. Jason makes the case that wings win championships, that Mobley has never become the player the Cavs needed him to be, and that Brown is exactly the type of two-way wing that could finally push Cleveland over the top. Ken is intrigued but hesitant, arguing that swapping Mobley for Brown leaves the starting four as Dean Wade and creates a roster of essentially three guards, which he's not convinced is enough to beat Oklahoma City or San Antonio in a seven-game series. Both agree that Donovan Mitchell's relationship with Brown is a real asset in recruiting him to Cleveland, and Ken closes by noting that both OKC and Boston coveting Mobley says something important about how good he actually is.

Ken and Jason Lloyd continue wrestling with the Evan Mobley for Jalen Brown scenario, with Ken gradually talking himself into accepting that this may be the only realistic upgrade available, even as he worries it just creates a lineup of three guards and Jarrett Allen. Jason makes the most compelling argument of the segment: if Ken doesn't believe Mobley can lead this team to a championship, and there's no other realistic trade partner, then saying no to Brown is essentially saying no to every Mobley trade forever. The Donovan Mitchell contract situation hangs over everything, with Jason noting the window is likely two years regardless, and Ken revealing he's been hearing whispers about Miami and Donovan's affection for Bam Adebayo as a potential landing spot if Mitchell doesn't re-sign. Ken closes with the James Harden analogy that keeps nagging at him: that move sped the clock up like cutting the wrong wire on a bomb, and whatever comes next has to be the right call.

Nick Wilson and Chris Fedor explore the Cleveland Cavaliers' roster dilemmas, debating whether to trade Evan Mobley or Donovan Mitchell to reach championship contention. They analyze Mobley's offensive development and compare Mitchell's impact to potential trade targets like Jaylen Brown. 01:00 - LeBron And Mobley Trades 06:41 - Cavs Championship Window 12:12 - Mitchell Trade Debate

Nick Wilson and Chris Fedor evaluate the long-term offensive potential of Evan Mobley and the likelihood of Cleveland Cavaliers fans turning on him if his development remains stagnant. This discussion shifts to comparing Mobley's impact to that of Donovan Mitchell and whether the organization should run back the current roster or seek upgrades to reach the conference finals. 01:00 - Evan Mobley Offensive Development 03:48 - Donovan Mitchell Impact Comparison 10:54 - Running Back Current Roster

Nick Wilson and Chris Fedor analyze the Cleveland Cavaliers' draft selection of Meleek Thomas and the future of Evan Mobley. They debate Mobley's potential as an offensive force and discuss whether team construction or individual limitations are hindering his development alongside Donovan Mitchell. 02:08 - Intro With Chris Fedor 05:50 - Evan Mobley's Performance Ceiling 10:24 - Roster Construction Math Problem 14:04 - Trading Mobley Or Mitchell

Danny Green joined Baskin and Phelps to share his thoughts on the Cavaliers' draft, how he thinks Maleek Thomas will fit in with the Cavs' roster, and why they still need more depth from big men. He discussed whether or not the Cavaliers should trade for Jaylen Brown and if he thinks LeBron will come back to Cleveland for his swan song.

RELATIONSHIPS | The Truth Is… | Pastor Vernon Mobley, Jr. | Sunday, May 31, 2026

Per NBC Sports Boston's Chris Mannix, the Celtics' real trade target isn't Donovan Mitchell, it's Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, and Anthony surprises Ken by saying he'd actually pull the trigger on it. Ken pushes back hard, arguing Mobley's talent is too tantalizing to give up and that the move solves a wing problem while creating a new one on the interior, leaving Dean Wade as the team's primary frontcourt defender. They pivot into an argument over whether Jarrett Allen, not Mobley, should be the one on the trade block given how much he's outperformed his bargain contract and helped win multiple Game 7s. The segment ends in chaos when a caller named Will claims the Knicks are overrated two weeks after winning the championship, and the guys roast him for one of the worst calls they've ever taken.

Brian Geltzeiler joins to weigh in on a possible Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown swap and says he'd make the deal as Boston but isn't convinced as Cleveland, arguing Mobley's offensive ceiling has been capped by usage rather than talent. The segment derails into a heated argument when Anthony pushes back on Geltzeiler calling James Harden's Eastern Conference Finals performance "humiliating," comparing it unfavorably to Victor Wembanyama, and Geltzeiler abruptly threatens to hang up over the disrespect before the call actually drops. After patching things up, Geltzeiler argues the Cavs have a roster structure problem, with Mobley miscast next to Jarrett Allen instead of playing center outright, and says running the same group back next year guarantees the same result. He closes things out on a lighter note, confirming AJ Dybantsa was the right pick at number one in last night's draft.

Danny Cunningham joins Ken and Anthony and shoots down trading Donovan Mitchell, arguing a top-10 player who actually wants to be in Cleveland is too rare to give up, and he's skeptical Jaylen Brown is even the right target if Evan Mobley were on the table. He flags Jarrett Allen, not Mobley or Mitchell, as the most realistic trade chip given his rising value, and warns that mid-season shakeups like trading for a new starter rarely produce a title that same year. Danny also pours cold water on a midseason fix-it strategy, pointing out the rest of the East is improving too, so simply running it back and being "better" may not be enough to get past Boston, New York, or Indiana. He closes by laying out the case for LeBron's return hinging entirely on whether LeBron prioritizes winning over comfort or money.

Chris Mannix's reporting sparks a deep dive into whether the Cleveland Cavaliers should consider trading Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown. Nick Wilson and Daryl Ruiter debate Mobley's offensive ceiling versus the immediate scoring impact of a veteran like Brown or Donovan Mitchell. Discussion also covers the financial implications of looming supermax contracts and how those deals impact the team's championship window. 01:00 - Mobley For Brown Trade Speculation 05:31 - Supermax Contracts And Roster Math 09:15 - Analyzing Mobley's Development Curve

Nick Wilson and Daryl Ruiter's discussion centers on the Cleveland Cavaliers' roster construction, specifically the long-term value of Evan Mobley versus Donovan Mitchell. They explore the potential of trading for Jaylen Brown and whether such a high-risk move is necessary to secure an NBA championship. The conversation also touches on historical examples of teams like the Bucks and Warriors sacrificing their futures for titles. 01:01 - Mobley and Mitchell's Future 04:08 - Championship Risks and Rewards 09:31 - Trading for Jaylen Brown

Ken and Anthony dig deeper into the Jaylen Brown trade talk, weighing whether dealing Evan Mobley actually fixes the Cavs' two-big problem with Mobley and Jarrett Allen or just creates a new one on the interior. A caller pushes back with his own proposal, floating Donovan Mitchell and James Harden in a package for Brown, which Ken quickly shoots down. The conversation circles back to Darius Garland's trade value and whether the Cavs are now stuck in no man's land, good enough to be good but not good enough to win it all.

Daryl and Lima analyzes the Browns' draft prospects, specifically comparing Brendan Sorsby and Shedeur Sanders. He examines the team's quarterback room under Andrew Berry before discussing the NBA landscape after Giannis Antetokounmpo's move to the Heat.
