Description: We start with explosive speculation out of Los Angeles, as new reports indicate the Golden State Warriors have called the Lakers on multiple occasions about a potential pathway to pairing LeBron James with Steph Curry. We explore what a rough Lakers season could mean for LeBron's future and whether he would actually consider a move up the coast to chase another ring.From there, we examine a case for the Memphis Grizzlies having one of the best starting lineups in the association, even after trading away a key piece. We'll identify the other top contenders for that title, including the defending champion Thunder, the re-tooled Nuggets, and the star-studded Rockets. We also turn our attention to New Orleans and ask if a healthy Zion Williamson is the single biggest swing factor for any team's win total in the entire league. Can his performance truly cover up for a shaky front office? Finally, we get to the results of our Elite Eight matchups in the Tournament of Moves, where Kareem's Skyhook faces Dr. J's scoop layup and Dirk's fadeaway takes on Duncan's bank shot.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!
