Episode description

The aftermath of the Luka Doncic trade is somehow even worse than expected. Anthony Davis showed flashes of brilliance in his Mavericks debut, but an all-too-familiar story unfolded—he left the game with an injury and is now out for weeks. Did Dallas just sabotage their future, or was this the plan all along? Meanwhile, Lakers fans were stunned as the team abruptly canceled a trade for Hornets center Mark Williams. What did they see in his physical that scared them away? And what does it say about the Lakers' front office that they waited this long to fill a massive hole at center?

Shifting gears, we examine the Knicks and Rockets—are these teams built for a real playoff push, or is their early-season success a mirage? The Knicks looked dominant for a stretch, but brutal losses to Boston have raised red flags. Can Jalen Brunson carry them to a deep run, or is their lack of defensive identity too big to ignore? The Rockets, meanwhile, are tough but still struggle to close out games—do they have the necessary pieces to make noise in the postseason?

Plus, we discuss the two most intriguing additions in the NBA: Jimmy Butler's debut with the Warriors and Chet Holmgren's return for OKC. Which team just got the bigger postseason weapon? All that and more on today's Locked On NBA!
