Breaking news drops mid-show that Donovan Mitchell has agreed to a four-year, $273 million extension with the Cavaliers, and Ken and Anthony debate whether it clears the way for a LeBron signing or is simply about locking in stability now. Ken pushes back hard on fans who turned on Mitchell after the Eastern Conference Finals sweep, arguing he's been a drama-free, community-focused superstar performing at or above his Utah numbers, and that no other star of his caliber is walking through Cleveland's door anytime soon. The two also revisit an old on-air disagreement where Ken once said he'd rather have Freddie Kitchens than Mike Vrabel, with a joking detour into Diana Rossini's relationship. The segment closes with Ken and Lima debating whether they'd rather see LeBron sign for one all-in year or two years given the physical toll at his age.
