Episode description
Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Cyrus Saatsaz (@Locked On Warriors) to discuss the Warriors giving both Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole contract extensions, plus a check-in on the vibes after the Draymond Green situation. Does Wiggins have one of the best current NBA redemption arcs? Why was extending Wiggins AND Poole the right move? Could the Warriors actually get a luxury tax break under the new CBA down the line?
Then, Ben Beecken (@Locked On Wolves) stops by to discuss the debut of the Minnesota twin towers Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert and how those two looked sharing the court for the first time together. Why did it take until the final preseason game to see the pairing? What did they look like offensively and defensively? How does Jaden McDaniels factor into what the Wolves want to achieve defensively? What does Anthony Edwards need to do to have a third-year leap, similar to Ja Morant last season?
Lastly, Andy Kamenetzky (@Locked On Lakers) swings by to talk about the Lakers giving Rob Pelinka a contract extension through the 2025-2025 NBA season and head coach Darvin Ham's "realignment" plan to bring Russell Westbrook off the bench. What has Pelinka done to earn an extension? How much confidence does Lakers ownership have in Darvin Ham? Could Russell Westbrook off the bench actually be the thing that saves his career?
