Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Andy Kamenetzky (@Locked On Lakers) to discuss the LA Lakers trading Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz for veteran point guard Patrick Beverley. How does Beverley move the needle for this Lakers team? Does this trade signal a possible Russell Westbrook deal around the corner? If no Russ deal happens, can Westbrook and Beverley coexist given their contentious past?


Then, Rylan Stiles (@Locked on Thunder) comes through to discuss the news that Chet Holmgren will be OUT for the season after suffering a foot injury during pro-am basketball play. How severe is Holmgren's injury? What was the message from Thunder GM Sam Presti addressing the situation? Are there any silver linings to take away from this? Should this effect teams' willingness to allow players to participate in future pro-am games?


Lastly, Doug Norrie (@Locked On Nets) jumps in to discuss the news that Kevin Durant and Nets ownership appear to now be on the same page, with all signs pointing to Durant's willingness to stay and "try to bring a championship" to Brooklyn. What caused KD to change his mind about the trade request? How much credit should Sean Marks and Joe Tsai get for not caving to KD's demands? Do the Nets now turn their attention toward Kyrie Irving, or is he also staying for the foreseeable future?
