This episode of Locked On NBA Daily features Nick Angstadt, Matt Moore, & Haize as they dive into the latest NBA GM survey, debating whether current roster construction and CBA rules are making it too difficult to keep teams together.
The hosts discuss the potential impact of Kevin Durant joining the Houston Rockets and compare it to Paul George’s move to the Philadelphia 76ers last season. The conversation includes analysis of Luka Doncic being controversially listed as a small forward and the ongoing debate about NBA positional definitions. The team previews the Indiana Pacers’ season, focusing on the development of players like Pascal Siakam and the challenges posed by Tyrese Haliburton and Miles Turner’s absence. Finally, the hosts turn their attention to the Utah Jazz, exploring which young players—including Ace Bailey—could be part of the franchise’s future and whether the team’s rebuilding strategy will pay off. Throughout the episode, the Locked On crew engages in candid, insightful debate on the NBA’s most pressing issues and overlooked teams.
