Summary
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.
