Booker SIGNS RECORD EXTENSION 💸 | Lakers Front Office MESS | Jaylen Brown BREAKOUT Incoming?
Loyalty pays—at least in Phoenix—as Devin Booker inks a two-year, $145 million extension, making him the NBA’s highest-paid player by annual salary. But is it a loyalty premium or a smart bet on the Suns’ cornerstone? Matt Moore and Haize debate whether Booker would’ve commanded that money on the open market and if the Suns were wise to lock him in this early.Meanwhile in Lakerland, ownership confusion reigns. Who’s really calling the shots: Jeanie Buss or billionaire Mark Walter? The panel reacts to conflicting reports and the long-term implications for Luka Doncic’s future in Los Angeles.Then it’s on to Boston, where Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury sets the stage for Jaylen Brown to take the lead. Could this be the season he proves he’s more than a number two option—and what does that mean for the Celtics moving forward?Plus, are the Spurs building the right way around Victor Wembanyama? The crew examines whether holding on to guys like Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell could ultimately cost San Antonio a chance at contention in Wemby’s early prime.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONBA?sid=YouTubeLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFind a Daily Locked On NBA Podcast covering your favorite team:📲 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFollow the Locked On Podcast NetworkTwitter 📲 https://twitter.com/LockedOnNetworkTikTok 📲 https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonsportsSubscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBAFollow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAYour favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

The Orlando Magic handed Paolo Banchero a $239 million rookie max extension, and it wasn’t just about the numbers—it was a statement. Matt Moore and Haize debate whether Banchero has the game to justify the bag and if Orlando can capitalize on their short championship window. Is Paolo efficient enough? Is this core sustainable under the new CBA?Meanwhile, the Miami Heat added Norman Powell and Locked On Heat says he could surpass Tyler Herro as their primary scorer. But is that even enough to keep Miami out of the Play-In purgatory?In Indiana, Myles Turner stunned the Pacers front office by jumping ship to Milwaukee without warning. Matt and Haize break down what went wrong in those negotiations and ask the hard question: Did one bad playoff run kill Turner’s entire Pacers career?Then it's all eyes on Bradley Beal, who hasn’t even hit the market yet but already has teams circling. The Clippers? Bucks? Wolves? Warriors? Nuggets?
