Today, we're settling some of the biggest debates of the NBA silly season with a game of "Which Happens First?" We start in the Lone Star State, where three superstars are on a collision course. Who delivers a title to Texas first: the alien, Victor Wembanyama, in San Antonio; the rookie phenom, Cooper Flagg, in Dallas; or the veteran scorer, Kevin Durant, in Houston? We break down each player's timeline, supporting cast, and potential, with our panel questioning if Cooper Flagg is even in the same tier as the other two.Then, we turn our attention to the record books. Which seemingly unbreakable record will fall first: Steph Curry's all-time three-point mark or John Stockton's legendary assist total? Matt Moore makes a compelling case for why one of these records is so preposterous it may never be touched.Finally, we look at the league's aging contenders. Which win-now team will be forced to hit the reset button and start a rebuild first: the Golden State Warriors, the LA Clippers, or the Miami Heat? We also check in on the stagnant restricted free agent market and predict whether stars like Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey will sign a new deal or be forced to take the qualifying offer.

Do the Knicks have the best top-end talent in the Eastern Conference? After a new ranking placed their top three of Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby fourth in the entire league, our panel is here to say, "LOL no." We'll break down why the Knicks might be getting overhyped and how their talent really stacks up against the league's best.We also react to a CBS report ranking the Milwaukee Bucks' front office a lowly 24th. Is it fair to penalize a small-market team for doing whatever it takes to win a title and keep a superstar like Giannis happy, or have their recent moves backed them into a corner? Then, we look at the Golden State Warriors, a team banking on aging stars and risky veteran additions. With so many injury concerns, are they the biggest boom-or-bust team in the entire league?Plus, we're playing a game of "Get It Done or Be Careful" with the biggest names still stuck in restricted free agency, including Jonathan Kuminga, Josh Giddey, and Cam Thomas. Finally, we take a trip to "Kyrie Corner" to analyze Kyrie Irving's recent comments about Kobe Bryant's legacy and why real fans "didn't care about the failures."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 NBA offseason just got spicier with Bleacher Report’s release of their Top 100 All-Time Players list—and our hosts aren’t pulling punches. Matt Moore calls Steph Curry being ranked 10th “ridiculous,” believes Jokic is criminally underrated at 17, and is baffled by Luka Doncic's spot at 57. Meanwhile, Haize defends Luka’s spot based on generational impact but admits his own rankings are more personal than historical. The conversation gets heated over Kobe vs. Steph, Jimmy Butler’s inclusion, and why Joel Embiid and SGA may have been overlooked entirely.Full List: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25223594-brs-top-100-nba-players-all-time-rankedThen, we pivot to the Clippers’ decision to bring back Chris Paul. Is it more about vibes and legacy than basketball fit? Matt thinks CP3 still gives LA a better shot than Kawhi or Harden in crunch time, while Haize believes a short nostalgic window is fine—if you're honest about the rebuild to come.We close with the Cavs' acquisition of Lonzo Ball. Can a player who's barely seen the court the last two years really be the key to a playoff push? The hosts weigh the upside of Lonzo's playmaking and defense against the brutal injury history—and whether Cleveland should have made a bigger swing.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!

Chris Paul is reuniting with the Clippers in what looks to be his farewell tour in the NBA. Matt Moore and Haize debate whether CP3’s final stop actually changes anything for LA's championship odds, and whether Kawhi is still the player to lead them. Then it’s on to Las Vegas, where the Charlotte Hornets walked away with the Summer League crown. What does Kon Knueppel’s MVP performance and the Hornets’ structural competency say about the future of the franchise? We also tackle the rise of Yang Hansen, debating whether his standout Summer League play was a flash in the pan or a sign of a legitimate international breakout. Does he have a ready made role in Portland?Later, attention turns to the Lakers, who signed Marcus Smart to fill a badly needed defensive hole. But has Smart already hit the wall, or can he rediscover his All-Defensive form in LA? And just how involved is Luka Doncic in building this new-look roster?Finally, the Mavericks are officially a team with two timelines: Cooper Flagg's bright future and Anthony Davis' narrowing prime. If Kyrie Irving doesn’t return, should Dallas tank for another high pick or try to win now? Matt thinks Cooper's stuck in a lose-lose. Haize thinks it’s too early to feel bad for the rookie phenom.
