We start with some big news, as Malik Beasley is reportedly no longer the target of a federal gambling investigation. We'll discuss what this means for his free agency and whether the Pistons or another team should take a chance on the talented shooter. Then, we turn to a spicy rumor out of Sacramento, where the Kings are reportedly gauging trade interest in Malik Monk to potentially acquire Russell Westbrook. Are Kings fans right to be skeptical, or could Russ be the sixth man they need?The offseason debates continue as we evaluate whether the Los Angeles Lakers' summer moves are being underrated by the national media. We'll also play a round of "Overrated, Underrated, or Properly Rated" with the offseasons of the Knicks, Clippers, Nuggets, and Bulls. To close out our position group week, we'll name our picks for the best and worst point guard rotations in the NBA. Finally, we’ll preview the exciting Elite Eight of our Tournament of Moves and share our favorite things of the week.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!

On today's show, we're talking about the most important position group in the modern league: the wings. We start by identifying the team with the best wing rotation in the entire NBA, a squad so loaded with versatile, two-way talent that the choice was unanimous. We also examine what makes them so effective and what other teams should look for when building their own rotations. On the flip side, we reveal our consensus pick for the worst wing group in the league, a team whose lack of proven talent is a major concern heading into the season.From there, we turn our attention to some lingering offseason business. We'll give you the latest updates on several key restricted free agents, including Jonathan Kuminga, whose stalled talks with the Warriors are reportedly holding up a deal for veteran Al Horford. We'll also look at the staring contest between Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls, as they remain far apart on a contract extension. Finally, we wrap up the second round of our Tournament of Moves with two legendary matchups: Kobe Bryant's baseline fadeaway versus LeBron James's chase-down block, and Dr. J's iconic scoop layup against George Gervin's silky finger roll.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!

On today's show, we're turning our attention to the Eastern Conference and asking a serious question: who is ready to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers for their crown? The hosts of Locked On Cavs are keeping an eye on two teams in the rearview mirror: the Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Hawks. We'll consider which of these young, hungry teams has the better chance to make a leap to the top of the conference. Of course, you can't have that conversation without including the New York Knicks, and we'll assess if their fans' expectations for a number one seed are truly realistic.Further down the coast, the Miami Heat believe they have the key to re-entering the contender conversation. That key is Bam Adebayo, who may be positioned for a career year after a full-time move to power forward. We'll look at the numbers and see if that positional change could be the catalyst for Miami's success. We also get into some fun preseason speculation with our favorite longshot picks for NBA awards, including Most Improved Player and Sixth Man of the Year. Plus, we'll give our thoughts on the league's new stance on prop betting and continue our "Tournament of Moves," where two absolute legends, Allen Iverson and Dirk Nowitzki, face their next opponents.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!
