Introducing LeBron & Luka’s Championship Path? | Durant vs. Budenholzer | Is Zion the Future in NOLA? from Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association.
Follow the show: Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association
LeBron James has officially entered uncharted territory, crossing the 50,000-point mark across regular season and playoff games. But will he and Luka Doncic be the duo that takes the Lakers to another NBA title? Matt Moore and Haize discuss LeBron’s continued dominance, Luka’s rising chemistry in LA, and whether the Lakers can truly contend.
Meanwhile, cameras caught Kevin Durant and Suns coach Mike Budenholzer in a tense courtside moment—was it a sign of deeper issues or just a fiery competitor in the heat of battle? And speaking of tension, should the Toronto Raptors lean into their recent hot streak and chase a play-in spot, or is it time to embrace the tank?
Plus, we break down the Knicks’ and Thunder’s experiments with double-big lineups—do these strategies make them dark-horse threats in the playoffs, or are they destined to backfire? And finally, the debate heats up over Zion Williamson: with jaw-dropping stats but ongoing injury concerns, should the Pelicans truly build around him for the future?

Orlando Magic's Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner: A Dynamic DUO to build with
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner have emerged as burgeoning superstars and clear All-Star-level players this season despite the Magic's overall struggles. If there is one thing the Magic have successfully learned is that they can build around their two stars. That makes the next steps for the team that much easier to navigate.
The Magic will be trying to find their way to help them this year. The big thing they can do is to stop fouling and give their defense a chance to set itself up.
With the season winding down and the NCAA Tournament on the horizon, I also take a look at what the magic could want from the draft and some players to keep an eye on as the college season concludes.
0:00 Intro: Paolo and Franz are superstars
5:44 Magic's playoff expectations and current struggles
11:20 Importance of Paolo and Franz's development
16:31 Officiating issues and Magic's fouling problem
22:37 Draft prospects and Magic's potential strategy
28:45 Potential draft picks for the Magic
34:52 Evaluating the draft class and Magic's options
