We're diving deep into a new Men's Health profile that reveals "Luka 2.0," and debating if this newfound dedication was sparked by the Mavericks trading him. More importantly, will losing weight impact the strength-based style that makes him so dominant?Full article: https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a65488151/luka-doncic-body-transformation/While Luka is making changes, the Los Angeles Lakers are standing pat, and it's drawing criticism. We break down why the Lakers haven't made a significant trade in years, with our panel arguing that the front office dramatically overvalues players like Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.Then, we pull back the curtain on our upcoming Locked On NBA Top 100 player rankings. Matt and Haize reveal which players are giving them the most trouble. How do you rank elite talent with major injury concerns like Zion Williamson, Kawhi Leonard, and Joel Embiid? And where does a young phenom like Victor Wembanyama land on the list?Finally, we settle a debate from Atlanta: who is more important to the Hawks' success this season, Trae Young or Jalen Johnson? We also analyze the Chicago Bulls' decision to extend head coach Billy Donovan, questioning if the franchise is rewarding mediocrity or wisely investing in stability.

Welcome to the show. We kick things off today with major news out of the Bay Area, as Jonathan Kuminga has declined the latest contract offer from the Golden State Warriors. We debate how much blame coach Steve Kerr deserves for the strained relationship and question the front office's strategy. Is this all about holding onto Kuminga as a future asset for a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, or should they have moved on from a player who clearly doesn't fit a season ago? We also analyze which of his reported suitors—the Phoenix Suns or the Sacramento Kings—offers him the best chance to flourish.With the Oklahoma City Thunder now sitting atop the NBA as champions, the target on their back has never been bigger. So, who will emerge as their primary rival? We debate whether it will be the established Denver Nuggets, the up-and-coming San Antonio Spurs, or a retooled and motivated Houston Rockets team.Plus, we break down a significant strategic shift in Phoenix, as reports indicate Jalen Green will take over as the starting point guard, moving Devin Booker off-ball. Is this a smart move to conserve Booker's energy, or a disaster waiting to happen? Finally, it’s Friday, so we’re sharing our favorite things of the week, including the fascinating dynamics of this year's restricted free agency market and NBC's impressive new broadcast team.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!

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.
