Summary

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Brian Kamenetzky (@Locked On Lakers) to discuss the Los Angeles Lakers riding a 5-game win streak despite still missing Anthony Davis and LeBron James' latest comments regarding his frustration with the Lakers front office and ownership. Is this Lakers team starting to form a winning identity? Is LeBron right to feel frustrated by the Lakers front office holding future assets hostage while playing winning basketball? What is the ceiling of this Lakers team with everyone healthy? What is the timetable for Anthony Davis' return? Then Sean Woodley (@Locked On Raptors) swings by to break down the Toronto Raptors regression from last season to this season, how much of the blame falls on head coach Nick Nurse, and what the future holds for veteran point guard Fred VanVleet. What are some of the key reasons for this year's Raptors regression? Were expectations too high for Scottie Barnes year two? How much of this season's issues can be traced to coach Nurse and should he be on the hot seat? With VanVleet, should Toronto extend him, explore trades or let him test free agency? Lastly Alex Wolfe (@Locked On Knicks) stops in to talk about the rollercoaster of New York Knicks basketball with an 8 game win streak, then 5 game losing streak, and now building another winning streak behind resurgent play from Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson embracing his role as THE Knicks point guard. What has allowed Randle to get back to the level he was at during his All-Star season? How impactful has Brunson been running the show in New York? How was sophomore Quentin Grimes able to break into the starting lineup? #Lakers #Raptors #Knicks 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.
