Just hours after the NBA Draft wrapped up, the Toronto Raptors shocked the league by parting ways with longtime executive Masai Ujiri. We break down the timing, possible internal politics, and what's next for Ujiri—and the Raptors' already shaky rebuild. Plus, a major drama brews in Utah as No. 5 pick Ace Bailey reportedly might not report to the Jazz. We explore the pre-draft rumors, Bailey’s possible power play, and whether the Jazz were right to ignore the red flags. Could this be Steve Francis or Dominique Wilkins all over again?The Los Angeles Lakers also made headlines, aggressively trading into the second round to grab athletic Arkansas wing Adou Thiero. With questions swirling about Austin Reaves’ future, is this a hint at bigger moves coming in free agency?Later, we crown our definitive draft winners and runners-up—with love for the Wizards, Suns, Spurs, and maybe a controversial Phoenix take or two. Plus, we look ahead to free agency: who has cap space, who’s bluffing, and why the second tax apron might reshape the league's future.Subscribe, rate, and review to stay locked in on everything NBA all offseason long.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 first round of the 2025 NBA Draft is officially in the books, and Locked On NBA is breaking down all the drama, deals, and unexpected moves that shook up the league’s future. Doug Branson is joined by Matt Moore and Haize to dissect the most polarizing pick of the night—Ace Bailey to the Jazz—despite clear signals he didn’t want to be there.
