## Resource

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.
