Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

What an insane day for L.A. Hoops in the Association!   First, the Buss Family reportedly agreed to sell their remaining shares of the Lakers and exit team ownership altogether... but Jeanie Buss, who clearly wants to remain as Team Governor, has disputed this, and her lawyer claims any sale isn't possible without her approval.   From there, you've got ESPN reporting that the league has decided there's no evidence of Steve Ballmer funneling money to Kawhi Leonard as part of a cap circumvention scheme, and is now moving towards whether or not the Clippers improperly introduced Leonard to team sponsors, then failed to monitor the outcomes, which essentially allows for potential cap circumvention. The league put out a statement refuting this.   What to make of this craziness? Andy Kamenetzky (Locked On Lakers) and Camille Davis (Locked On Bucks) do their best to piece it all together.     Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Did the Cleveland Cavaliers just make the move before the move? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down Cleveland’s trade of Dennis Schroder for Tre Mann, the financial flexibility it creates and whether another addition — such as Peyton Watson or Jonathan Kuminga — could turn the Cavs into an even bigger threat in the East. Then, Klay Thompson says he wants to play a meaningful role for a team capable of making a deep playoff run. Does that mean his time in Dallas is nearing an end? The guys debate whether Klay can still help a contender and which destinations make the most sense. Finally, the Rotation Lab heads to Golden State. With Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody unavailable to start the season, how should the Warriors build their rotation around Steph Curry — and can they stay afloat until reinforcements arrive?

It's a fun August Day of news around the Association. First, Kevin Garnett's long-awaited (and for a variety of reasons, long overdue) Minnesota Timberwolves jersey retirement day has been set, appropriately against the visiting Boston Celtics, the team KG left Minneapolis for in order to finally break through and win a title. But by his own admission, the greatest T-Wolf in franchise history never lost his love for his former squad (if not his former squad owner), so it's awesome to see an all-time NBA great (much less Minny icon) properly celebrated. From there, a look at who's getting inducted in the Hall of Fame this weekend, and which names could soon join the likes of Amar'e Stoudemire, Doc Rivers, Candace Parker, Chamique Holdsclaw, and Mike D'Antoni (among others). From there, a look at how a trade sending Dennis Schröder to the Hornets opens up some apron-related breathing room for the Cavaliers, and whether it could be a step towards a sign-and-trade involving Peyton Watson or Jonathan Kuminga. Plus, LeBron James got the mural treatment in Philly. Will he be able to satisfy a notoriously rough fan base?     Hosts: Swipa (Locked On Nuggets, Locked On NBA), Andy Kamenetzky (Locked On Lakers) Photo credit: Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

NBA shake-up: Should the league slash its 82-game schedule for better basketball? Matt Moore breaks down why fewer games and fewer back-to-backs could mean a higher-quality product, debating the best season format and innovative ideas like a midseason All-Star break and the future of the NBA Cup. Key talking points include injury prevention, the challenge of maintaining historical stats, and what it means for player longevity and fan excitement. Plus, the hosts question the NBA’s heavy reliance on veteran stars like LeBron James and Steph Curry for national TV coverage, pointing to the lack of exposure for emerging talents like Tyrese Haliburton and Cam Boozer. The controversy continues as the LA Clippers re-sign Bradley Beal, raising eyebrows about team direction, roster flexibility, and potential trade implications involving Brandon Ingram, Peyton Watson, and Brook Lopez. Can the Clippers’ mix of youth and experience make noise in the West, or is a rebuild looming?   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

NBA schedule shakeup: Did league execs get the key matchups and marquee holiday slots right, or did fan favorites get snubbed? Christmas Day features a Finals rematch between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, plus high-stakes battles like Sixers vs. Lakers and Thunder vs. Timberwolves. But are playoff contenders like the Indiana Pacers and rising stars like AJ Dybantsai and Trae Young getting enough national TV love? The debate is on. David Ramil breaks down hot topics including the rise of afternoon NBA games, the pros and cons of rivalry week, and which return games—like Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee and Jaylen Brown in Boston—promise fireworks. Key discussions tackle the intense Knicks-Sixers rivalry, overlooked matchups such as Thunder-Spurs, and the impact of schedule quirks on both superstar narratives and up-and-coming teams. Which heated clashes and emerging storylines will define the new NBA season?       Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Russell Westbrook has officially retired, ending one of the most electrifying and polarizing careers in NBA history. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize look back at Westbrook’s legacy, his MVP peak and what he meant to Oklahoma City after Kevin Durant’s departure. Then, where does Russ rank among the great point guards of the 2010s? The guys draft the best point guards of the decade from a loaded group featuring Steph Curry, Chris Paul, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving and more. Finally, it’s back to the Rotation Lab to examine the Milwaukee Bucks as they enter the post-Giannis Antetokounmpo era. Who starts? Which young players are actually worth building around? And which veterans could become trade-deadline targets? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold AGAIN—just 18 months after Mark Walter purchased the franchise. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize react to the reported $12 billion sale to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner and discuss what Walter's situation could mean for the Lakers, NBA franchise valuations and potential expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. Then, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. raised eyebrows when asked whether Steph Curry will finish his career in Golden State. Was Dunleavy simply acknowledging Curry's power over his own future, or should Warriors fans be worried that the franchise is preparing for an eventual breakup? Finally, it's back to the Rotation Lab for the Memphis Grizzlies. With the Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. era over, the guys build an opening-night rotation around Cameron Boozer and examine what's next for one of the NBA's newest rebuilds.

The NBA has revealed its Christmas Day and Opening Week schedules, and Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize are handing out their first reviews. Did the league get its five-game Christmas showcase right with Spurs-Knicks, Heat-Celtics, 76ers-Lakers, Thunder-Timberwolves and Nuggets-Warriors? Which teams got snubbed, which matchups should be swapped and what does the schedule tell us about which teams and stars the NBA believes matter most? Then the guys go through what they like—and don't like—about Opening Week, including earlier start times and the NBA's continued insistence on putting major East Coast audiences through late-night Warriors-Lakers games.  Finally, it's back to the Rotation Lab to tackle the LA Clippers. Assuming Kawhi Leonard ends up in Toronto, what does the Clippers' opening-night lineup look like, how deep is their rotation and what should their goals be without Kawhi?

The NBA mourns the loss of coaching icon Don Nelson, whose trailblazing strategies with the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, and Milwaukee Bucks shaped generations of basketball—from the birth of the point forward to empowering big men like Dirk Nowitzki. Which of Nelson's innovations most influenced the modern game, and how will teams honor his expansive legacy? As the offseason buzz intensifies, the spotlight shifts to Ben Simmons and his push for an NBA return, with potential suitors including the Lakers, Timberwolves, Cavaliers, and Clippers. The hosts (Tony East and Swipa) debate Simmons' defensive value and fit, while Joel Embiid’s “extra motivated” offseason and renewed health spark questions about the Philadelphia 76ers’ championship ceiling. Hot takes abound on Embiid vs. Giannis, the rise of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and which stars will define the NBA’s next era.

San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder lead the NBA title contender draft, but can LeBron James’ Philadelphia 76ers and Jalen Brunson’s defending champion New York Knicks disrupt the West’s dominance?

Some NBA offseason moves are aging better than others. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize revisit the summer with an NBA Offseason Double Take, identifying the teams they've become more bullish on and the ones they've cooled on after taking a second look. Which front offices deserve more credit now that the dust has settled, and which teams missed opportunities?  Then the conversation shifts to the Utah Jazz and whether standing pat around Walker Kessler was the right move. Finally, it's another edition of The Rotation Lab as the crew builds the Cleveland Cavaliers' opening-night rotation. Should the Cavs shake things up after another disappointing playoff exit? Could Jaylon Tyson force his way into the starting lineup? And what lineup changes give Cleveland the best chance to finally break through in the Eastern Conference?

Gavin Schall and Swipa Cam unpack Kevin Durant’s claim that the Philadelphia 76ers resemble the 2016 Warriors, challenging the comparison of talent, synergy, and defensive infrastructure.  The hosts break down the high expectations for the Sixers, analyzing their new core of Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe, while expressing skepticism about their defensive ability and fit.  The conversation extends to Boston’s current ceiling with Paul George and Mitchell Robinson and how the Celtics stack up against Philly.

The duo assesses whether Denver—with key players like Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun—remains a true title contender in the Western Conference, given recent injury concerns and the need for more defensive versatility.  The episode ends with a brief look at the Detroit Pistons, spotlighting Cade Cunningham’s impressive impact and setup for a deep-dive next week.

Golden State Warriors cling to title hopes as Steph Curry’s window narrows. Can this aging roster—featuring Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford—deliver one last NBA championship, or is the franchise risking its future by doubling down? The debate heats up over whether mortgaging draft capital is wise, with insights into the two-timeline experiment’s failure and the daunting Western Conference landscape led by the Nuggets and Spurs.   Haize and Swipa unpack the ripple effects of the NBA’s CBA on restricted free agents like Jonathan Kuminga, Ben Mathurin, and Jalen Duren, questioning if the current system unfairly squeezes rising stars. The conversation shifts to veteran free agents Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and Bradley Beal—do any still have a path to a championship ring?

Could Zach LaVine be the next big name to hit the market? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize react to a report that the Sacramento Kings have told LaVine he isn't guaranteed a role despite opting into his $49 million contract, debating whether a buyout makes sense and which contenders should be interested. Then they shift to Golden State, where new reporting suggests the Warriors also passed on a chance to acquire Jaylen Brown before striking out on Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James. Did the Warriors miss another opportunity, and should Steph Curry start thinking about finishing his career somewhere else?  Finally, the crew heads into The Rotation Lab to build the Charlotte Hornets' opening-night lineup after trading LaMelo Ball, examining who takes over the offense, how the frontcourt fits together, and whether Charlotte has enough playmaking to stay competitive.

Has the balance of power finally shifted to the Eastern Conference? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize debate whether an offseason that brought LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and potentially Kawhi Leonard to the East has finally flipped the NBA's long-running East vs. West conversation. Then they examine whether restricted free agency is quietly becoming one of the league's biggest problems, discussing the Peyton Watson and Jalen Duren situations, why the current system creates tension between teams and young players, and whether it's time for the NBA to overhaul—or even eliminate—RFA altogether. Finally, it's another edition of The Rotation Lab, where the crew builds the Miami Heat's opening-night rotation around Giannis and Bam Adebayo, debating lineup combinations, staggering strategies, spacing concerns and where a player like Klay Thompson could fit if Miami lands another veteran shooter.

On today's Locked On NBA we discuss Jalen Duren, Peyton Watson, Jonathan Kuminga, Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, LeBron James, and NBA free agency. Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit, Locked On Mavs) & Camille Davis (@CamilleMonae, Locked On Bucks) break down why the Denver Nuggets have the most at stake of any team left in free agency, with Peyton Watson's decision looming over their second-apron roster crunch around Nikola Jokic. The hosts dig into the Detroit Pistons' tense, unresolved contract standoff with Jalen Duren and what it's holding up elsewhere on the roster. They also unpack Jonathan Kuminga's shrinking market after being passed on by both the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers. From there, Nick and Camille draft their top 10 title contenders to settle whether the East has really closed the gap on the West. They close with a rapid-fire Count It Up segment debating whether LeBron James is a "ring chaser" and fact-checking some wild NBA stat claims from Reddit.   0:00 Free Agency Fallout: Duren, Watson & Kuminga 13:19 Who's Better: East vs. West 23:41 Count It Up: Is LeBron a Ring Chaser?     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast 🎧 Locked On Bucks Podcast       Get Your Free Locked On NBA Draft Guide!

Have the Golden State Warriors already shifted their focus beyond Steph Curry? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize react to reporting that Warriors owner Joe Lacob is prioritizing the franchise's post-Steph future after missing out on LeBron James. They debate whether Golden State has reached the point where preserving the future makes more sense than chasing one final title—and whether Steph Curry should seriously consider requesting a trade.  Then the guys explore the unthinkable by pitching potential landing spots and trade packages for the greatest shooter in NBA history. Finally, it's another edition of The Rotation Lab, where the crew builds the Philadelphia 76ers' opening-night rotation after adding LeBron James, breaking down the starting lineup, bench units, closing five and the lineup combinations that could make Philadelphia the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.

Should teams really trade for Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving if it means landing LeBron James? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down the latest report suggesting LeBron is giving teams time to pursue one of his preferred teammates, debating whether the cost of acquiring both a superstar and a massive contract is actually worth it. Then it's another edition of Make It/Take It, where the crew debates whether the Mavericks and Wizards should keep building around Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, whether the Houston Rockets deserve to be viewed as legitimate championship contenders, and if the NBA's younger generation is giving small-market teams a recruiting advantage. Finally, the debut of The Petty Meter asks one important question: If LeBron really delayed his free-agency decision after Adam Silver publicly asked him to hurry up, just how petty would that be?

They debate whether the Warriors should be more concerned about filling out their roster than waiting on LeBron James, why the Pelicans and Kings still have difficult decisions ahead, and which Eastern Conference teams need one more move to feel complete.  Then it's another edition of The Rotation Lab, where the crew builds the Brooklyn Nets' opening-night rotation, examines how the offseason additions fit together, and discusses Michael Porter Jr.'s long-term future with the franchise. As the NBA calendar slows down, the guys identify the biggest unresolved storylines that could still shape the season before opening night. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

NBA All-Stars face a new financial reality as the latest CBA, supermax rules, and the controversial 65-game threshold shake up contract negotiations. Deuce McBride’s insightful comments spark debate: Are players willing to accept reduced roles—and reduced pay—for a shot at winning, or will egos and earnings take priority? Ku Khahil and John Karalis break down the ripple effects of Jaylen Brown’s trade, Jalen Duren’s contract standoff, and how teams like the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons navigate these salary cap changes. The conversation explores the impact of rising salaries, changes to the qualifications for All-NBA honors, and whether stars like LeBron James and Trae Young will influence future team parity. Is the NBA’s power finally shifting away from superteams—and what does it mean for your favorite franchise? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Is LeBron James holding up the NBA offseason? Wes Goldberg, Haize and Pat the Designer discuss the growing pressure surrounding LeBron's free-agency decision after Rich Paul said there is no timeline and Adam Silver acknowledged the league is waiting before releasing the regular-season schedule. The crew debates whether LeBron owes the rest of the NBA a quicker decision—or if he's earned the right to take his time.  Then they have some fun by drafting the No. 1 overall picks from the last decade, stacking stars like Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, Paolo Banchero, Cade Cunningham and Zion Williamson against one another while revisiting the biggest hits and misses at the top of the draft. Finally, it's another edition of The Rotation Lab, where the guys build the Boston Celtics' opening-night rotation and examine how the defending Eastern contender plans to stay competitive after a dramatic offseason overhaul.
