Why LeBron Might Return to Miami + What a Sixers Rebuild Could Look Like. Who gets Embiid?
Could the Philadelphia 76ers be headed for a fire sale? With Paul George’s knee injury and Joel Embiid’s long-term health concerns, Doug Branson asks Wes Goldberg and Nick Angstadt what a full-scale Sixers teardown would even look like—and whether it's the right move given their tight pick window. Then, the panel debates LeBron James’ future, sparked by a spicy quote from Heat VP Udonis Haslem. Could King James really return to South Beach, or is this just another power play?Next, the trio talks Victor Wembanyama’s return to full health. Wes sets a high bar for the Spurs’ success this season, while Nick has strong words about what "disaster" would look like in San Antonio. Shifting westward, the panel names the top threats to OKC’s repeat title hopes—with Jokic and the Nuggets standing tall, even after a Cam Johnson upgrade. And don’t sleep on the Mavericks, who Wes and Nick both say accidentally stumbled into a 20-year window with the addition of Cooper Flagg.Plus, could Bronny James break into the Lakers' rotation this season on merit alone? The guys give their surprising take. And finally, in a home run derby-style segment, Doug gets Wes and Nick’s picks for which teams truly crushed the offseason. The Knicks, Hornets, Hawks, and yes—Mavs—all make appearances in a fast-paced finish.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONBA?sid=YouTubeLocked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFind a Daily Locked On NBA Podcast covering your favorite team:📲 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAFollow the Locked On Podcast NetworkTwitter 📲 https://twitter.com/LockedOnNetworkTikTok 📲 https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonsportsSubscribe to the Locked On NBA YouTube Channel: Locked On NBAFollow/Subscribe/Listen Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnNBAYour favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
