Is Joel Embiid's Career DONE? | LUKA 2.0 DEBUNKED | Zion Williamson's LAST CHANCE in New Orleans?
Today, we're tackling the most polarizing summer conversations in the league, starting with the intense discourse around Joel Embiid. Following a revealing ESPN profile, we debate the viral takes: is Embiid "soft," or is he a warrior whose body has failed him? Our panel breaks down the criticism, with one host arguing that the real issue isn't toughness, but that Embiid is a "frontrunner" who has yet to respond when facing true basketball adversity.Then, we continue the conversation that has the NBA world buzzing: "Luka 2.0." After a Men's Health article showcased a newly slimmed-down Luka Doncic, some are questioning the motivation and sustainability of his transformation. Is this real, lasting change, or just a temporary "post-breakup workout" in response to being traded by the Mavericks? We also examine the Pelicans' risky offseason and how their entire plan hinges on Zion Williamson finally making a similar commitment to his conditioning.Finally, we look ahead and identify the offseason moves—and non-moves—that teams will be kicking themselves for. Did the Mavericks make a massive mistake by choosing D'Angelo Russell over Chris Paul? Should the Bulls regret holding onto Nikola Vucevic? We break down the deals that are destined for regret in a packed show you won't want to miss.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!
