REPORT: Kevin Durant WILL be TRADED | Paul George's Podcast Pause | Pistons WOMP Celtics for 8th Straight Win
Kevin Durant’s tenure with the Phoenix Suns may be coming to an end, but how did it fail so quickly? We break down why KD never fit with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, why leadership was lacking, and what teams could realistically make a move for him. Could a reunion with Kyrie Irving in Dallas be in the works, or does Denver make more sense?Meanwhile, Paul George has hit pause on his podcast to “lock in” for the rest of the season, but does it really matter for the Sixers? With Philly struggling and Joel Embiid battling injuries, is this too little, too late for a team barely clinging to playoff hopes?The Detroit Pistons, however, are making noise for all the right reasons. After dominating the Boston Celtics for their eighth straight win, have they officially turned the corner? Cade Cunningham is leading the way, but how much credit should go to J.B. Bickerstaff and the veteran additions?Plus, should NBA players even be podcasting during the season? Does it hurt focus, or is the criticism overblown? And don’t miss our breakdown of Shaedon Sharpe’s ridiculous dunk—was it the best of the season?Subscribe to Locked On NBA for all the latest takes, analysis, and debates from around the league!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/LockedOnNBA Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Luka's Triple-Double Revenge | Can Rockets win on Defense Alone? | Jayson Tatum is Under Appreciated
Luka Doncic made headlines with his first triple-double as a Los Angeles Laker against the Mavericks, but did the performance live up to the hype? We break down his impact, LeBron’s defensive resurgence, and whether Kyrie Irving’s big night is proof he can lead the Mavs without Luka. Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets continue to stack up clutch wins, but are they built to bully their way through the playoffs with defense alone?We also tackle a fiery debate: should the NBA get rid of the charge call? Matt Moore and Haize argue whether rule changes should make the game more physical and what the NBA can learn from international play. Plus, we react to Nico Harrison’s latest comments on Luka’s conditioning and what it means for his Lakers future.And speaking of playoff enigmas, which teams can’t truly be judged until they enter a seven-game series? We compare squads like the Cavaliers and Grizzlies, debating who could make an unexpected run and who might collapse under the postseason spotlight.All that, plus a look ahead to Celtics vs. Pistons and the contrast between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s playing styles.
