Introducing Anthony Edwards Hinting at Move to Heat? | Haliburton STUNS Bucks | Celtics NEED Win Against Thunder from Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association.

Follow the show: Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

Tyrese Haliburton may have just secured the shot of the year with an unreal, fading three-pointer over Giannis Antetokounmpo, but was it also the game of the year? The Pacers took down the Bucks in a thrilling finish, adding more intrigue to a potential first-round playoff clash. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers continue their dominance, rattling off their second 15-game winning streak of the season—are they officially title contenders?

Zion Williamson is finally healthy, and his latest triple-double proves he’s still a force to be reckoned with. But can we trust his availability for a full season? And in Miami, Heat fans are daydreaming about a potential Anthony Edwards move—after working out at their facility, is there any real traction there, or is it just wild speculation?

Plus, we break down the massive Celtics vs. Thunder matchup, a possible NBA Finals preview, and debate whether Kevin Durant could really be on the trade block. Are the Suns looking at three picks and a young player as too low of a return? Locked On local experts join us to give their insights on the biggest stories around the NBA.
