Kane looks at some of the numbers from last season, before pondering the worth of the Milwaukee asset chest and a Collin Sexton addition.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast with an emergency bonus episode. The Pittsburgh Steelers announced a big extension payday for Alex Highsmith to the tune of four years for $68 million at an average of $17 million for per year on his new seasons, keeping Highsmith with the Steelers thru 2027. That move was vital, not only keeping a player who recorded 14.5 sacks, but also pairing him with T.J. Watt to potentially give the Steelers the best edge rusher duo in the NFL for years to come.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have started three of their past four seasons with a 1-3 start. But why has that been the case? A look at the Steelers' offensive output to start the past five seasons shows problems at the quarterback position with Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph and Ben Roethlisberger. But also, from the Steelers' offensive coordinators Randy Fichtner and Matt Canada. Can Mike Tomlin change that tone with Pickett and this new younger offense? Also, a look at the Steelers' first quarter offense over the past five seasons show they've been the worst at scoring touchdowns and moving the football in the first quarter of all NFL teams. What must be different with Pickett if that's to change?

Despite what some people thought, Joe Mazzulla's job was never really in jeopardy with the Celtics. Brad Stevens not only never considered firing Mazzulla, he's now fully bought in -- moving guys who just no longer fit with Mazzulla and bringing in a player to give Mazzulla new options. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks it all down, and gets into why this could be a year that changes people's minds. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

With most of the big free agent work done, attention can turn to other important issues central to the team's future. Like what's coming for Anthony Davis. The Lakers star is eligible for a new contract extension before the season, one that could add another three years and nearly $168 million to his contract. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports the Lakers are likely to come to some sort of arrangement with A.D. before the season starts - details TBD. Obviously those details matter, but bigger picture, it raises all kinds of questions about not only the Lakers and their future (this would be the first deal taking Davis well beyond the LeBron James Timeline, Davis will be well into his 30s, and so on) but the way contracts like this will be handled across the league. With the new CBA, will teams automatically give out these extensions/max contracts to star players? Is this something the Lakers should automatically do? Would they be better off letting that deal play out? How much risk is there in giving an injury prone guy like that so much money going into his 30s? How much risk is there not giving him that contract extension? Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets continue demonstrating how much they relished beating the Lakers en route to the first title in that franchise's history. It mattered. A lot. They talked about it after they won. At the parade. In subsequent interviews, and so on. This week now-former Nugget Bruce Brown noted how intense and locked in Denver was in that series, and that they never felt threatened in any of the games despite close scores. So do we have a genuine rivalry at this point? Both teams ought to be very good next year, which will make those games meaningful. Certainly a third postseason go-round is possible. It's easy to hope for, because the Lakers have been without any real rivalries for a few years, now. They were, obviously, really bad for a long stretch, and even when LeBron and Davis arrived, the all-or-nothing yo-yo they've been on has made it hard to establish those sorts of rivalries. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Anthony Davis is extension-eligible. So you just give him the money, right? SEGMENT 2: What you risk giving Davis an extension... and what you risk in not giving it to him. SEGMENT 3: Lakers vs. Nuggets: Is this going to be come a true rivalry going forward?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mark Kaboly of the Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers want Kenny Pickett to take a leap in his second season in 2023, but reports indicate Matt Canada might handcuff him with play calls in how much Pickett is allowed to throw and take big shots. Chris Carter and Mark Kaboly talk about how Canada actually addressed the situation during minicamp, and how it might impact game plans this season. Also, Kaboly talks about how this will be his 20th Steelers training camp, and which players he has his eyes on the most for when training camp opens next week.

One of the more significant signings of the offseason for the Lakers - some might say the most significant - was Miami guard Gabe Vincent. At the very least, he was their biggest investment, at three years and $33 million dollars. He slots into the role held by Dennis Schröder, and is set to play a really big role in the team's rotation. He had a very impressive playoffs, including some particularly important moments in the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston. Particularly notable was his outside shooting, which went well above his career norms. So who exactly are the Lakers getting? Wes Goldberg, host of Locked On Heat, joins to break it down in a very in-depth scouting report. What are his strengths? How much has Heat Culture influenced Vincent's growth? What will his game look like moving into a group like the Lakers? How will Vincent, the person, fit into a team with LeBron James and the expectations of the Lakers? What kind of locker room presence will he be? On the floor, was Vincent's performance in the postseason a sign of things to come? How sustainable was his run as a shooter? What about normal point guard stuff? Can he operate as a floor general, if asked? How much does that matter on a team with LeBron James, Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell and more? What about the defense? What are his strengths and weaknesses on that side of the ball? One interesting thing to consider with Vincent, for all the talk of upside and growth (which are important and matter) is how likely he is to have a high floor with the Lakers. After listening to Goldberg break down Vincent's game, it's easy to feel confident that, at the least, even if he doesn't take a leap forward, the chances of Vincent playing very solid basketball and delivering value for the Lakers as measured by the totality of his contributions seem very high. That matters. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Wes Goldberg joins. Who did the Lakers get when they signed Gabe Vincent? SEGMENT 2: What is the impact of Heat Culture? Can Vincent sustain his playoff performance into a full regular season? SEGMENT 3: Reacting to the scouting report. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Do not kill the messenger. Sunday, Sam Quinn at CBS noted on Twitter that (relaying a report from Marc Stein) the Mavericks would be willing/happy to flip Christian Wood in a sign-and-trade deal. For obvious reasons, since they could get something in return for him. Wood would clearly love that outcome, because it would mean he's getting something more than a minimum deal. And the Lakers are part of the conversation because they're one of the teams linked to Wood as a possible free agent destination. Quinn noted, for that reason, that while he doesn't think this will happen and it's currently not a live scenario, one way—and really the only way—the Lakers could engage in a S/T with Dallas for Wood would be by trading Jarred Vanderbilt. To say the least, that sparked a big online conversation among fans online. So would you do it? Trade Vanderbilt for Wood? The consensus among fans was a hard pass, but how much of that is optics? Vanderbilt is a VERY easy player to like. Wood is VERY easy to dislike. What's the argument for no? Is there a reasonable argument for yes? What does the conversation say about Vanderbilt's role on the team? Where does he fit in the rotation? It's not a question with obvious answers. Meanwhile, Darvin Ham had some serious praise for Austin Reaves, saying that he believes Reaves will be on an All-Star team, and soon. Is he right? Can he do that on a Lakers squad where he'll be, at best, the third guy? First and foremost, to get three dudes on an All-Star team requires the team to be a frontrunner, which the Lakers hope to be. But from there, will he get the numbers? Even if he doesn't, could he land in that Mike Conley space, spending the bulk of his career in that space of All-Star Caliber Players Who Don't Make All-Star Teams? Because that would be REALLY good for the Lakers. Finally, LeBron is going back to 23. Hope you saved that jersey. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Would it be worth moving Jarred Vanderbilt for Christian Wood in a hypothetical trade? SEGMENT 2: What will Vanderbilt's role in the rotation look like this season? SEGMENT 3: Is Austin Reaves a future All-Star? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

It's official. During Wednesday's ESPY Awards, LeBron James confirmed he's not retiring and will return to the Lakers. You may go on living the lives you were already engaged in with no change whatsoever. But all jokes aside, while the news wasn't necessarily even news by this point, there was some interesting psychology with LeBron's theatricality, as well as what we suspect was actually going on in his head when he floated the idea of hanging up his sneaks for good. In the meantime, Darvin Ham is nothing if not confident. So when visiting the #thisleague UNCUT podcast with Chris Haynes and Marc Stein, maybe it shouldn't be surprising that Ham had some spicy moments. Those 10 teams that passed him up and hired other guys? They "****ed up, royally," he said. Denver coach Mike Malone, who (along with his team) spent an unusual amount of post-title time talking about beating the Lakers? Ham heard, and remembers. "Oh wow, bring up ‘Money Mike,' the Lakers' daddy, right? That's what they call him now, the Lakers' Daddy… God bless his soul. This shit ain't over. God bless his soul.” Could Lakers vs. Nuggets be one of the first rivalries to be boosted heavily by the two coaches, as opposed to stuff that happened specifically on the floor? Because that WCF wasn't super chippy. But now? As Darvin says, "This **** ain't over." Finally, D'Moi Hodge hit 6 of his 13 3-pointers in Wednesday's SPL loss to the Celtics. He's now shooting about 41% from downtown in Vegas, on 9 shots a game. Hodge knows exactly what will get him in the league, and keep him there: Shooting and defense. And the two-way player out of Missouri, who is already 24 and doesn't have time to screw around if he wants to make it in the NBA, has a role model that Lakers fans will recognize and respect. His choice shows tremendous self-awareness, and I'm sure impresses the Lakers. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: At the ESPY Awards, LeBron James Confirms he's not Retiring SEGMENT 2: Ham has words for Mike Malone. SEGMENT 3: D'Moi Hodge has picked the right role model to gain a foothold in the NBA. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Is LeBron James really in a five way tie for the best player in the NBA? Well, if you believe this year's 2K rankings, yes. Yes he is. The issue isn't whether they're right or wrong, exactly, but it does drive home the paradox of LeBron these days, and the tension that goes along with building a team around him. On the one hand, he's not *that guy* on a night in, night out basis, across a full season's worth of games. He's not going to play in all 82. Or probably even 72. You hope for something over 62. But for one night, can he be that good? For one series? Yes, yes he can. Anthony Davis? Just behind LeBron's 97 ranking, at a 94. And the same basic dynamic exists with him, too. He's capable of playing elite ball, but do you know he's going to be there? Meanwhile, the folks at 2K produced some fun numbers about the team, some that seem accurate, some fans hope are wishcasting, and finally others that make you wonder if they've ever actually seen any of these players on the floor. And how about the new flopping rules? The NBA announced that the league will be cracking down on them this season, calling T's for players who egregiously violate flopping sensibilities. And the Laker this likely impacts most? Austin Reaves. Especially if refs don't tolerate embellishment on the offensive side of things. Because embellishing fouls is a form of flopping, right? Reaves is a guy who has built selling contact (not flopping, necessarily, but selling contact) into his game on both sides of the ball. Could he be impacted by the rules? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The 2K rankings are out for next year. Is LeBron overrated? SEGMENT 2: Fun with 2K numbers and the Lakers.

Jaylen Brown's extension still isn't done, and even though it should be soon, it definitely feels like there are reasons behind the deal still being negotiated. Also, Sam Cassell's hiring was celebrated when it happened, but Joe Mazzulla's role in the hiring makes it especially notable. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss all that and have some thoughts on the new play-in tournament. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Not that you'd expect otherwise, but Darvin Ham was talking up the Lakers roster earlier this week with Mark Medina of The Sporting Tribune. Ham says the Lakers absolutely have a roster capable of winning an NBA championship. Not that he was saying the Lakers should be prohibitive favorites or anything, but that they've got the pieces to get it done. So is he right? Or is this just a coach delivering the normal platitudes you get in July? It's hard to argue with his premise. The Lakers, after all, are coming off a Western Conference Finals appearance, and even if you don't think they radically improved this offseason, they certainly didn't get any worse. (And realistically, while the improvement wasn't massive - that sort of transformative thing wasn't really available to them - they enter the season with a more balanced roster than last season and the opportunity to build with continuity. That continuity thing? Ham is a big proponent, calling it a major reason the Nuggets won a title, and noting that it's becoming a bigger trend across the league. The Lakers might have a history of chasing stars, but this year they are trying a different path. (And, for what it's worth, a better one.) So what does the rest of the conference look like? Denver took a small step back, losing Bruce Brown and Jeff Green. What about Memphis? Phoenix? How many known, or even semi-known quantities are there in the West? After Denver, and probably Sacramento, you've got the Lakers. Is that it? And finally, Kobe Bryant became a Laker on July 11, 1996. It feels like a long time ago, in so many ways (because it is) and at the same time, it doesn't. Perhaps because Bryant, because he died so suddenly and so prematurely, feels frozen in time. Looking back to that day in '96, it's interesting to think what would have happened if the Nets hadn't been scared away from drafting Bryant. The "Sliding Doors" scenarios are infinite. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Darvin Ham says the Lakers have a championship roster. Is he blowing smoke? SEGMENT 2: Remembering Kobe Bryant's arrival in LA, back in 1996. SEGMENT 3: Looking at the rest of the West. Because how the conference shapes up has a lot to do with the accuracy of Ham's statement. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

AJ Green and Lindell Wiggington returned for Milwaukee but it made little difference, as a brutal third quarter led to a blow out loss against Brooklyn. MarJon Beauchamp went scoreless and only one player reached double digits in a bad night for the Summer League squad. Kane and Frank discuss the tough night, before also moving into Jon Horst's interview with The Athletic, additional challenge for coaches, flop penalties entering the regular season and more.

The Boston Celtics have only played two games, but some trends are starting to show up in guys like Jordan Walsh and JD Davison. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses that, why the zone defense they've been playing around with could be a sign that Joe Mazzulla will do something very smart with his defense, and whether John Wall is an option for the Celtics.

The Lakers have constructed most of their roster—just that pesky final center (presumably) remains—and generally to terms very favorable to the team. One wrinkle that was disclosed this week? Via Keith Smith, the cap guru, D'Angelo Russell waived the no-trade clause afforded him (and any other player signing a similar deal) thanks to his contract, which amounts to only one guaranteed year, since the second one is an option. Why? Does that mean Russell is, once again, on the trade block, before the ink even dries on this deal? Well, sort of? Russell will always be placed into trade rumors. He's been there since the Lakers drafted him. He was in rumors in Brooklyn. He was in rumors in Golden State. He was in rumors this summer. He'll be in rumors next year, the year after, and with whatever teams he plays for before he retires. But it's a setup that benefits everyone. If the Lakers are going well and Russell is playing well, he's not going to be dealt at all. If he's not? It benefits everyone to make his departure easier. Meanwhile, Max Christie is looking excellent in Summer League, not just as a scorer but displaying a full floor game. The difference he could make in LA's rotation this season, if he's a guy the team would want to play 15-20 a night vs. can play 10-15 is dramatic. That's like acquiring a $5-10 million player via free agency, or making a trade where you sacrifice nothing. And it's the floor game that gets him in the rotation, not the scoring. That's the skill the Lakers are least likely to need. Jalen Hood-Schifino has also settled into very steady play. Very few mistakes, very little flash. Just solid decision after solid decision. The outside shot needs to come, but for now, the type of low turnover, low mistake ball he's playing is what the Lakers would need if he's pressed into service (or, of course, earns it). Finally, Max Lewis signed a four-year deal. Are the Lakers getting smarter about locking up second rounders? Or is it a matter of representation? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Russell waives his no-trade clause. What's up with that? SEGMENT 2: Is Max Christie the new Austin Reaves? SEGMENT 3: Jalen Hood-Schifino has an interesting comp, according to a viewer on the YT page. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The young Lakers players on their Summer League team continue to look good, winning two more games over the weekend. But while there's plenty to talk about with Jalen Hood-Schifino, Colin Castleton, Max Lewis, Max Christie and more, it was stuff Rob Pelinka was saying to the media that got a lot of attention. He noted in a couple of interviews that he had talked to Anthony Davis once again about his position on the floor, and that the Lakers would like to repeat some of the success from 2020, when A.D. played most of his minutes with another big next to him. Does that mean the Lakers plan to start Davis with another big? Jaxson Hayes, or whoever they look for with the 14th roster spot? (Pelinka confirmed they'd like to find another big.) Would that be a bench configuration the Lakers deploy from time to time, when the matchups are right? Where Davis plays, at power forward or center, has been a hot-button issue thanks to numbers indicating how well the Lakers perform with Davis as a five. It's why he played 99% of his minutes last year at center, compared to about 90% at power forward back in 2019-20. Of course, the Lakers also had a pair of viable centers in JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard, as opposed to only having Hayes, who could break out in L.A., but to this point hasn't been a reliable pro. So what was Pelinka talking about? Is there a C out there who could change that dynamic? How much PF would you expect Davis to play this year? (And is Castleton a solution to any of this? He continues to dominate SPL.) Finally, the NBA announced the rules and groups for its inaugural in-season tournament. The Lakers are in group play with Portland, Memphis, Utah and Phoenix. How will they approach those games? Will teams like the Lakers care? Will their fans? Who is thing designed for, anyway? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Pelinka talks Cs, and where Davis might play this year. SEGMENT 2: How much PF would you expect Davis to play? Is it a good idea? SEGMENT 3: On the new in-season tourney. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Birddogs Go to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNBA or enter promo code LOCKEDONNBA for a free Yeti style tumbler.

The Celtics won an ugly game over Toronto where no one could make a shot and clinched themselves the second seed in the East. Malcolm Brogdon was the hero for Boston, who was without Jayson Tatum or Marcus Smart, and John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal thinks that should be enough to give him the Sixth Man of the Year award. Plus, Joe Mazzulla's interaction with Chris Boucher shows the coach might be an absolute maniac.

The Celtics had a chance to beat Philly without Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams thanks to the Sixers nearly collapsing in the last 10 seconds of the game, but Joel Embiid's 52 proved to be too much to handle. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses the loss, why the Celtics seemed cool with how the night went, and why they didn't guard Embiid like they normally would have. Plus, thoughts on Jaylen's interview with Shams Charania and his comments about Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum.
