Get or is somebody else to blame for some of the coaching things but I got I think I got to start here because so every once in a while there’s a rumor that creeps up and you just go wait what the like what are we talking
About hold on what the like what are what do we what do you mean and there’s these there’s a rumor going around that apparently LeBron is on the trading block and I’m getting texts about it I’m getting tweets from you guys about it we’re getting comments in the YouTube
And everybody’s like who is talking why are we talking about LeBron James getting traded and normally you know if you’ve listened to this show with me with Isaac in the past we pride ourselves on sifting through all the rumors we love rumors I I feed I feed
Off these rumors you do too I know you do we feed off these rumors I I need them you know like give me the slop that’s that’s what they call it now a big bucket of slop just give me the this team is interested in this and
Reportedly sources say that this team is interested in oh I’m ready give it to me and so a tweet every once in a while comes around where you get an Ari Abraham where you get a you know guy that tweets randomly the dime dropper or
Was it uh dropping dimes 22 or 20 or whoever that guy was that just starts dropping things and you go should I believe that guy and this is one of those times where there’s there’s a tweet from David pingalore he is apparently a reporter at at uh a reporter out in La for
KTLA Sports Anchor reporter been out there he’s got like 12,000 followers and you know like he’s followed by a lot of people that that I know and follow a lot of locked on hosts follow this guy lot of people in the basketball Community follow this guy and so you’re
Like all right well let’s see he tweets this hearing from at NBA peeps oh boy at King James is the top of the at Lakers list to trade the 39 year old palinka is looking for the right team to dance with and is closer to a Suitor LBJ and AD
Both out tonight that they’re out tonight in that game they’re going to play against the Celtics and first you go all right listen Dave listen Dave if you’re gonna report something don’t put peeps in your report you better be you better be reporting about a new flavor of the
Little Bird candy right like don’t put peeps in your report if you want to be taken seriously at least that was my first reaction and then you start looking back at some of the tweets that he’s had in the past February 2012 same guy same account LeBron is putting feelers out to
Return to the Cavs February 2012 and got it right June 2019 he reports that Kawai is definitely joining the Clippers so maybe there’s something to it and so that’s why people are talking about LeBron James now for the Mavericks and for our situation here I don’t the
Maps don’t the maps don’t have enough to trade for LeBron James we what the Lakers would want right you could I don’t know throw throw Lively throw omx throw all I just didn’t he just is such a big figure and it would mean so much to each to any individual team’s bottom line
MoneyWise he would I mean he changes everything God can you imagine Luca Kyrie and LeBron stands all combining their forces how much merch would be bought how much oh God Cuban if you’re Cuban if you’re listening to this slow down bud how much merch would be bought
If they had LeBron Mavs jerseys oh it’d be so weird too I don’t the Mavs don’t don’t have enough to trade for and like if the Lakers do that they’re starting over they’re just completely starting over they’d want draft picks the Mavs only have the one first maybe that’s
Enough like LeBron is his contract has coming to the end he’s he’s 39 years he’s the oldest guy in the NBA and so you’re like all right well what would he actually cost but I just I don’t think the Mavs would have what the Lakers would want Hardy Josh green omx and a
First and then at this point like what are you talking about you’re talking about a team of Luca Kyrie LeBron Grant Williams you keep Lively hopefully well if you got to keep Lively because if you don’t then you don’t have any centers and LeBron has to have a center just he
Has to at this point LeBron’s got one this year 47 a. half million and then 51 a. half million player option next year oldest guy in the league still good still like still good still a really good player I can say that now since Isaac is no longer part of the
Program I can say he’s a really good basketball player and that he would help the Mavs in a couple of different ways imagine a LeBron and Luca pick and roll imagine like LeBron and Kyrie doing the LeBron Kyrie things they used to do all the reports in the summer about Kyrie
Recruiting LeBron to join the Mavericks and Kyrie wanting to wanting to play with LeBron in LA or wherever the Ramona shelburn report that we talked about a couple weeks ago that there’s been smoke and those are like like that’s like real reporting smoke that they want to play together
Again maybe the Lakers do LeBron a favor and just say we’ll get you wherever you want to go we’ll start over we don’t have to pay you know whatever you’re have to pay the 50 million next year we’ll we’ll clear the books do they take just to even get to
47 million is is is tough for the Mavericks uh would they take like the like a nothing trade a Pal Gasol for kwami brown type trade will they do that just to do LeBron a favor they did LeBron favors before he came over they did a trade to the Cavs
To you know before LeBron came over to the Lakers to clear the deck to get LeBron guys that he needed did they’ve done that before before he was even on the team so wouldn’t they do it before he leaves the team I don’t know and so
Something to watch I don’t know what to make of it I don’t as far as if it’s true or not we’ll see and just because he’s top of the list to trade doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen either Could Happen it’d be wild it would be wild if that happened Luca LeBron and
Kyrie in the starting lineup Luca would still be the last name mentioned right when’s When’s LeBron not been the last name mentioned in starting lineups sea Heath goes get on your feet it’s time and then he like LeBron James that would be just insane the history of it too Dirk still around the
Franchise oh I just oh oh oh my God I just threw up in my mouth imagine Dirk like hugging LeBron in a Mavs Jersey like on at half court after his first game or something oh man that was did not expect that it would just be weird
And I don’t I don’t see a way of it happening but that’s usually how the craziest things happen in the NBA you don’t see a way for it to happen and then it just does and you go wow they really just got LeBron for Tim Hardaway Maxi ran
Holmes Jaden Hardy Josh Green just start throwing guys back and forth and you go how did that happen how did that happen so we’ll see I this is but to answer the question this is why people are talking about LeBron James trade do I think it’s feasible probably not but
That’s how crazy things happen LeBron move LeBron Moves In Waves that we just cannot potentially understand coming up let’s talk about some actual potential trades let’s talk about what the Mavericks can actually do kosma Wiggins PJ Washington seems like it’s those three that have been rumored and
Connected the maps the most talk about that get in a backup center a lot of other stuff to talk about on today’s lockdown Mavs today’s episode brought to you by FanDuel FanDuel Sportsbook has all kinds of props and odds and stuff that you can check out for the Super Bowl oh you know
You know it’s happening uh any touchdown scorer so you just pick one of these players and if they the winner is any player who carries I love these like explainers the winner is any player who carries or receives the ball in the end zone not
The QB or player who passes the ball so they have to have the ball in the end zone I like that specific the legal e on that uh you can get Chris McCaffrey minus 220 Pacho minus 140 Travis Kelce plus 100 Debo Samuel plus 145 who’s an Patrick Mahomes he’s got to
Run it in he can’t P he can’t throw it in plus 350 George KD plus 170 what’s the what’s the wildest one Braden there’s not like a fullback guy that the remember the Patriots always had that fullback anyway there’s all kinds of fun stuff on FanDuel I I

Fanduel.com lockon make every moment more with FanDuel official partner of the NFL shut it down let’s go that’s what I want to say to those LeBron rumors shut them down thanks everybody for hanging out with us on lockdown Maps being part of the show part of the raccoon Squad
Listening every day appreciate each and every one of you for hanging out with me bonus episode here on a Friday night going into Saturday that’s right I’m doing this on a Friday night not ashamed just reading the NBA rumors we got to talk about it the Mavs have been
Connected to a bunch of players throughout this they always are it always seems like the Mavs are well I’ve heard that the Mavs are connected to this guy Matt Moore yesterday on our show said I’ve heard the Mavs connected to Miles Bridges a lot the Mavs always
Seem to be connected to guys which guys like me love because I can I can talk about any guy and it it seems real but the maps have really been connected to three guys Kyle kozma PJ Washington and Andrew Wiggins those are three players that I think definitely could be traded
There’s rumors there’s smoke that those guys will be traded it makes sense for those teams to trade those guys and so I got a bunch of questions about all all three of those guys so I combine them all into this one section if you had to choose one of the
Questions was if you had to choose between kozman and Wiggins I’m gonna throw PJ Washington in there too if I had to choose to me it sounds like kozma and PJ Washington would cost the same in a trade PJ makes less PJ is better defensively he’s probably a better
Culture guy as far as he would fit into his role for sure definitely gives you less scoring although he did just score 40 the other night theoretic i al gives you less shooting even though he’s a better percentage shooter three-point wise than kozma kma’s taking way harder shots from
Three little smaller than kozma but he’s big a bigger body PJ Washington would be the Mavs attempting to get the Grant Williams thing right again kozma’s contract is descending it’s a little bit longer PJ Washington’s contract is descending it’s a little bit shorter and a little bit less money you
Really go back and forth and I think that PJ Washington would cost the same as Kusa because I don’t think there’s there’s a ton of suitors for kumma it sounds like the Mavs and the kings are the only ones that have really been brought up but according to Matt Moore
Yesterday there’s a lot of teams that’ be interested in PJ Washington he’s just one of those glue guys that fit so well every title team has one and we thought it would be Grant Williams on the Mavs and it just it just hasn’t been we thought it could Bex prosper and he’s
Just not ready to be that guy just yet Dorian finy Smith we thought that he would be that guy and then he got traded for Kyrie you know it’s like every team has one of those guys that just holds it all together the glute I mean Maxi is
Kind was kind of one of those guys in the way that they plug him into that role he stretched the floor and you’re like oh it opens up so many things if I had to choose one of them if I had to choose one my heart wants to go PJ Washington
But I think I would go kozma because I think that scoring is going to matter for the Mavs I think scoring is the thing this season you just look at AC you look across the league and you just look at the amount of scoring that’s happening in the
Playoffs that’ll subside but it also subside and the Mavs will need another go-to scorer somewhere and they just need that third heat I love this I love the analogy it’s the it’s the third the 30 Rock pilot episode where they’ve got you know a blonde female actress they’ve
Got a like a an impressionist male act actor on their their fake Saturday Night Live show that they’re writing that’s the whole point of 30 Rock you’ve got these two actors and Jack donie who’s played by Al Baldin comes in he’s like you got to find the third heat you got
To find the third heat who’s the third one and in comes Tracy Morgan I am a Jedi and he just like screaming he’s crazy but he’s the third heat he changes everything the Mavs need a third heat scorer and I think Kyle kzo could be that Tim Hardway Jr is supposed
To be that for the Mavericks some nights he is lots of nights he is not and he can’t get his own shot reliably enough but I think kozma could and so I think that’s where you that’s where I land especially a bigger scorer a go get your own bucket scorer
If the big question for him is his spot up shooting what point guards has he played with since LeBron in Washington like he’s not played with anybody to get him the ball but you look at the landscape of the league and it’s you’ve got to get scoring from
Somewhere like the Mavs are the Mavs are led by Luca donic that used to be enough it used to be enough to be one two in the NBA in in offensive rating the Mavs have 118.7 offensive rating that means they’re scoring almost 119 points per 100 possessions there’s about
100 possessions in an NBA game and that’s not enough the Mavs led the NBA were the number one offensive rating in the history of the league in 2020 their offensive rating 108 117 two points worse than they are right now and this year they’re 10th and that year
They were first in the entire history of the league efficiency wise the efficiency in offense in the NBA is just going crazy right now and you’ve got to keep up the Mavs have to keep up now injuries have definitely held them back that’s why they’re 10th right they
They’d be much better with Luca and Kyrie on the floor they have 120 offensive rating with Luca on the floor and without Kyrie they have 120 offensive rating with Luca off the or with Luka off the floor and Kyrie on the floor they have 123 offensive rating so
Like it one of those two guys being injured definitely hurts them but those guys have been out and injured a lot and so I think i’ go kosma if I had to pick PJ is a like a player that you would really want to fit in to to be that
Defender I think kozma can can be a better Defender than he’s shown in Washington for sure and so I think I would go him the Wiggins part of it is just tough because I just don’t know what I’m getting you think like ideally he would be the
Player he was for the Warriors a couple years ago maybe he just needs to change his scenery that’s a risk less risk with kozma less risk with PJ Washington so I pick both of them over Wiggins if I had to choose cost maybe less with Wiggins too because
His contract is bigger his contract is also not descending it goes up so if it’s if you if you screw it up if you if you trade for Wiggins and you screw it up and you go dang it we did it again we traded for Josh Richardson again we
Traded for Grant Williams again we you know we did we made one of these trades and the player D Wright whoever like name some of these players Mavs have traded for where we go that guy fits perfect and yet it just doesn’t work if that happens then all of a sudden you’re
On the books for 25 26 27 $30 million the next four years it’s tough kma by the end of his deal is $19 million or less than that don’t have in front of me so that’s interesting both both kman and PJ Washington if the Mavericks end
Up with one of those guys if they decide to trade one of the firsts if they get rid of enough young guys or send enough young guys back to make it work those are wins those are wins either one of them and I’ve seen a lot of questions in comments they
Go that’s how I read them is you scoff I read I read the scoff before I read the actual words G do any of these guys even make the Mavericks better yes yeah PJ Washington glue guy would help your defense would help the offense because he’s he’s a three-level scorer
In a way not an elite one but he can score inside a little bit he can hit a jumper he can hit a three-point shot decently well and kozma would help your offense for sure add some length add some size and kozma playing off of Luca and Kyrie
Would be much better than kozma playing off of Jordan P right now right he’s also been to a title and Kyle kozma here’s the underrated thing about Kyle kozma and honestly this is the thing that probably puts me over the edge with Kyle kosma over a PJ Washington type
Kuzma has played with LeBron he’s played with LeBron and AD he’s taken that backseat he knows what it’s like to stand in the corner and wait for one of the greatest players in the world to dribble dribble dribble figure it out and kick it out to me and I’ve got to do
Something with it invaluable invaluable so I think I would go with kozma if I had to pick all right coming up let’s talk about backup center because there’s a bunch of options I think we haven’t talked about them enough because we’ve been enamored with these wings those are the big moves but
Let’s talk about maybe the Mavs make two moves maybe they make a move for a wing and a move for backup center we’ll talk about some of the options coming up today’s episode brought to you by prize picks prize pick is daily Fantasy Made Easy you can go check out a ton ton

If those hit that’s pretty fun go check it out again if you use the code lockd down NBA you get a first deposit match up to $100 that’s prize picks ./ lockon NBA all right Isaac let’s get into some more of your questions a lot of questions about backup center what are the backup center options out there okay one thing with backup center there’s a lot of teams that need backup center Matt Moore talked about it yesterday he’s heard from teams we even
Have we have a locked on um trade deadline sheet that I had everybody fill out all the hosts that cover their teams they cover the team and know about as much as I know about the Mavs they know about their teams and I trust them they
All filled out what does your team want what does your team have what are they looking to trade all that eight teams eight out of 30 teams said some type of backup center or big that’s a lot and that’s just what the host said lot of teams need backup center
It’s it’s a premium right now and so what are the options the Mavs have been interested in Clint capella in the past seems expensive for a backup center making 20 million and and he’s not been that great this season we just saw head-to-head drik Lively outplayed him
But could the maps get him pretty cheap and bring him in and get him for a couple of seconds and him be the backup center that sounds interesting to me but the reports have been the Mavs have have cooled off on that he it is an an expensive backup center but if you
Combine him and Lively like and you put him together and you’re like all right well we’re paying $25 million for our two centers that doesn’t sound too bad that one that was an interesting one already made the they already made the contacts about it but has his has his
Value dropped off because around the draft they wanted a first round pick they wanted Josh Green they wanted Hardy they still want that for Clint capella is he still worth that you hope not Kelly o lenck he’s been rumored a bunch of different times there’s been a
Bunch of teams interested in him talking to him would two seconds get it done I don’t know we’ve seen like Jay Crowder go for like four or five seconds in the past it all depends on the bidding war and what happens on the day F Monday
Morning starts and the week at the trade deadline happens and all of a sudden the price for guys could go up or it could go down that’s the market baby that’s the market Andre Drummond is the one that is is the most interesting because the Mavs need rebounding help he’s the
Best rebounder that’s available out there and so that one is interesting to me again none of these guys I think are are garnering a first round pick the Mavs shouldn’t trade a first- round pick drumond is only signed for just this year so it just wouldn’t make any sense for them to do
That Nick Richards or the Hornets if the Mavs do a PJ Washington Plus Nick Richards like a combo that solves two different little problems I don’t know how reliable Nick Richards is he’s done some good things you know he’s like he’s been pretty good at times for the
Hornets he started a bunch of games this season with Mark Williams out but I’m not sure that he answers like I wouldn’t feel as comfortable if it was Kelly linck or capella or Drummond like just a vet that’s been around before but an interesting play another one that I’m interested in
Is Mason plumbley he’s kind of taking a backseat to uh Daniel Ty for the Clippers and that’s an interesting one but how much better is Mason plumbley than Dwight Powell or ran Holmes or Maxi kba I don’t know can’t answer that question I don’t know bismack bio is
Still out there that’s one that that interests me that he’s he still hasn’t signed to a team he just left the Grizzlies and so to me that makes me think that there’s something else going on with him in his life but I don’t know he played really well against the Mavs
But uh that that’s an interesting one speaking of playing well against the Mavs Xavier Tillman according to Mark Stein another player to watch when tracking forwards who could be in play in the February 8th trade buzzer approaches Memphis is Xavier Tillman senior he’s like 68 we saw him you saw
Him against the Mavs where he had that he just had a a really good game against them he’s like a big big body but like short the Mavs play him at backup center think like everything we said about Isaiah Stewart but maybe a little worse that’s that’s kind of interesting but
But what does he do in the MAV system he doesn’t really shoot the three that well he’s not a lob threat bism bio’s is at least a little bit of a lob threat but he’s a big body if the Mavs need some some muscle they need somebody off the bench that can
Push guys around and maybe that makes their small ball unit more effective but then are you really playing small ball if you’ve got a center that can’t really shoot I don’t know but he’s an interesting one to think about so those are the backup center options to me it’s Andre
Drummond the clink capella one intrigues me if the Hawks are just trying to move off him the other thing about the Hawks is they suck they’re bad they’re not good right now and maybe they decide to just change things up they talk there’s talks about D jonte Murray they’re 21 and 27 they
Just haven’t been very good they’re at the bottom of the the playin in the in the East right now and so maybe they just try to shake things up and if they decide to shake things up and want to clear the decks Maybe Clint capella is clearing the decks enough for them but
Then who do the Mavericks give that helps them clear the deck any Tim Hardaway and ran holes are both signed for next year basically too so I don’t know and would you want to give up Tim for a backup center in Clint capella if you don’t replace Tim scoring you’re
Kind of screwed like a backup center doesn’t doesn’t replace one for one what Tim could bring On Any Given night when he goes off so Nick Richards Andre Drummond Kelly lenck if that the bidding war doesn’t go up for him Xavier Tillman’s a little interesting to me and
So those are some backup center options the Mavs could have on there another question was about kid let’s do the last one about kid so with Jason kid this commenter this this textor says I’m not and never have been a kid fan if his best best attribute as a coach is
The relationship and respect he gets from Stars when do we shift our Focus to his assistance for the team’s shortcomings my answer is the Mavs already did that the Mavs removed Greg St Jee from from coaching and you know Quinton Crawford and Christy Tolliver left too I’m not sure if they’re removed
Or not but they’re gone and so and then they replaced him with Alex Jensen they brought in Brian Bates but he left for the Sixers you know they tried to bring in some other assistant coaches so the Mavs have already looked at it and said all right well nothing worked last year
And so let’s bring in some new assistants so if you want to shift the blame you can to me I’m not ready to shift the blame he’s still the head coach it comes back to him so just because we you know can collectively say decide well he’s not good at this one
Thing he’s not good at this not good at the drawing drawing up a last second play just because we can say that doesn’t mean that when it like he’s when he’s not good at it still can’t get blame right it doesn’t absolve him from blame at that
Point and so I wouldn’t I wouldn’t just like all of a sudden go man you know what the maps coaching is not good let’s blame Shan Sweeney you know John Sweeny got moved to the offense this season they changed that too the Mavs the Mavs did shake things up last year
And so if you’re looking for somebody to blame and you want to blame the assistants the Mavs did that last year last offseason they they switched it all up they changed it all up and here we are with different issues a lot of them injury related it’s hard it’s hard 22
Games Kyrie and Luka have played 22 games this season together they missed 26 they like there’s been 26 games this season where one of or both of Luca and Kyrie haven’t played that’s over half the games that’s tough that’s tough there you go let me know if you

Pick one for a Mavs Trade: Kyle Kuzma or PJ Washington.
Give us the slop!
Breaking News!!!! Dallas Mavs trade for Ben Berkinstein from Nowhere Indiana
How did PJ Washington become so sought after when he was a free agent a few months ago and nobody wanted him
"Give me the slop" needs to be your catchphrase now.
That's it! That's who Nick reminds me of…Jack Donaghy
trade kyrie and stuff to lakers for talented players whose name i dont know. if lebron comes to dallas i will no longer be a current mavs fan. ill relive dirk and 2011
The mavericks need to change their offense and play luka as sf man thats the iso there is no ball movement nor nothing its just pure iso and luka always have the ball in his hands how are you going to maximise talented players when you always have the ball in your hands. i love luka but he needs to change his heliocentric playstye that isnt winning basket move the ball set screens cut more and catch and shoot. luka has shown that he can do all those things this season let him do it more having a 37% usage is unacceptable and having a 8.9 top is also unacceptable the team can be so much better if the mavs changed their offense to make it more motion heavy.
Dont trade for LeBron. Get him in free agency.
Mavs need to get players like Drummund, Markennen, Grant, Washington, etc. Or wait until off-season.
Three team trade with THJ being sent to a contender that needs a volume shooter for a 1st, a young player with some talent that is redundant on that team, along with Mavs 1st and 2 2nds salary filler from what team needs to…for Deni(Defensive/passing/shooting coming along young SF) and Gafford the needed back up.
If the mavs can keep one 2nd. Trade DJJ to a contender desperate for bench help for another 2nd(Denver/Philly etc)
Send Hardy and Grant Williams and those 2 2nds and a pick swap for PJ Washington.
Basically filled every hole with a couple 1sts to upgrade next season if one of the moves don't work out.
I don’t anticipate Kyrie being more healthy/available going forward as he ages. The team needs a prolific and versatile 3-4 who can perform well alongside Luka and/or Kyrie when injuries take place (and they will). Kuzma or Jerami fit this mold, but Mavs may not have enough assets to address this plus the other holes in the roster (backup C etc.). Tough decisions to be made.
I don't want ANY of the 3 for what they would cost us AND I don't think any of them replace what we already have, nor move the Mav's needle now or in the future, BUT I'll answer your question the way you asked it: Kuzma (because he can at least score), but like the other two, he's not worth it.
AND trading for LeBron now isn't worth it either. The team would be gutted of players and there's no future with a very expensive 39 year old that costs you most of your young assets. I'd puke if they traded for him now.
Why would we want him lmao
Don’t trade for Lebron. He’s a sellout.
Build around Luka and KEEP HIM IN DALLAS FOR HIS CAREER
