You are locked on NBA, your daily NBA podcast, part of the

locked on podcast network, your team every day. What's up and welcome to another Thursday edition of Lockton MBA.

I am Jackson Gatlin, host of Lockton Rockets.

He is Matt Moore, senior NBA writer at the Action Network and co-host of Lockton Nuggets, Matt Ben Simmons and his time in Philadelphia
