Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Brad Rowland (@Locked On Hawks) to react and break down the report that the Atlanta Hawks are managing "simmering issues" between star guard Trae Young and head coach Nate McMillan. How strained are we to believe the relationship is between Trae and McMillan? What does this say about Trae as a leader? How secure is McMillan's job right now? Then, Jake Madison (@Locked On Pelicans) stops by to discuss Jose Alvarado's 38-point career night and the New Orleans Pelicans claiming the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference. How important is Alvarado to this Pelicans team? How has New Orleans reintroduced Zion AND maintained a top defense? Are the Pelicans the deepest team in the NBA? What type of impact is rookie Dyson Daniels having in the minutes he's earned? Lastly, Damichael Cole (@Locked On Grizzlies) swings by to discuss Ja Morant putting up the best numbers of his career so far for the Memphis Grizzlies and how the team has managed to survive early season absences from Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. Why isn't Morant getting more MVP buzz? What's the latest timetable on Bane and who has stepped up in his absence for Memphis? What has Triple J looked like since his return from injury? Why are the Grizzlies a middle-of-the-pack defense this season compared to a top defense last season? #Hawks #Pelicans #Grizzlies Subscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBA Follow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Built Bar – Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
