The Brooklyn Nets are the most difficult NBA team to rank accurately: With ESPN updating its latest power poll rankings and championship odds changing as well, the Locked on Nets guys take a look at where the Brooklyn Nets rank in both. It’s an interesting discussion and lends itself to the idea that the Nets are the most difficult team in the NBA to properly rank. For Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and company, this isn’t anything new. The Nets have been one of the worst teams against the spread over the last two years and it’s been so tough to get a handle on where they actually stand. This season is no different in that respect.

Where the Lakers Stand in the Western Conference Today, with Guest Mo Dakhil! (Part 1): The Lakers have had another summer of change, and more change is expected (or at least, if you're John Q. LakersFan, badly wanted). But right now, as the NBA offseason rolls into the dog days of August, where do things stand for Los Angeles relative to the rest of the conference? Are they a playoff team? A play-in team? Something (gulp) worse? How exactly did the Lakers get to this place, and is there any way out? (Hint, the issue could be cultural, coming from the front office.) Andy is still wandering the wilderness, but that's no problem. Fielding all of these questions and more is the great Mo Dakhil, of Bleacher Report, The Athletic and the host of One Mo Thing, one of the great educational NBA segments on the Internet.

Recapping a telling Nets Media Day with Steve Nash and Kevin Durant, Plus Nets Christmas Day!: Nets Media Day started off the official NBA preseason and there’s plenty to talk about with the Steve Nash and Kevin Durant interviews that went up. They were decidedly two different guys answering questions about the team today, but it was easy to come away with tons of optimism from both. Steve Nash gave an top down view of the Nets, what his role will be, the collaborative approach to coaching and what the Nets style will be. It was a fantastic window into what the team is thinking going into the season. It was hard to not walk away feeling very confident about how things are run.

Could the Nets be going into saving mode even though they are championship contenders? There’s at least some reason to suspect that’s going to be the case where Tsai is concerned.

The Lakers Most Likely to Win MVP and Other Fun Futures Bets... Plus, Klutch Gets Sued: Vegas doesn't know everything, but they're a pretty good barometer of the landscape at any given time, and the folks at Betonline have numbers out on the 2021-22 season. Not surprisingly, the Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are prohibitive favorites to win the title. Like, way out ahead of the rest of the pack. Maybe the over/under on wins might feel a little low (52.5), but when you consider the potential for injury, the premium on rest, the idea the Lakers may not go full throttle for seeding, and some early growing pains given the total roster overhaul... maybe not? But the most interesting stuff is in the futures bets. What are the early odds on Frank Vogel's Coach of the Year candidacy? Did they get stronger or weaker following the Westbrook deal?

How the Lakers Got So Bad So Quickly: Examining the Westbrook Deal, and Other Moves By Rob Pelinka - Guest, Eric Pincus: The Lakers' 2021-22 season has been an absolute disaster. Some reasons are beyond anybody's control... but many issues could have been avoided through better decisions. And while fans will - not without reason - point to the Russell Westbrook trade as the flashpoint for where everything that's fallen apart, it hasn't been the only bad call over the last few years. Poor decisions, major and minor, have helped what looked like a strong franchise fall apart in a hurry. So how did this happen? The Kamenetzkys spoke with Bleacher Report scribe and NBA cap expert Eric Pincus. He breaks down the personnel choices that went wrong, accounting mistakes they've made with contracts like Talen Horton-Tucker and Austin Reaves, squandered assets and draft picks and more.

What does Darvin Ham Need to Prove as a Coach Next Season? Have Lakers Fans Bought Into Him?: Tuesday's show was all about the sea change in strategy for the Lakers when it comes to roster building. Where once it was all about cap space above all - meaning no long term contracts for anyone but the biggest stars - now the Lakers have a bunch of multi-year deals for non-elite players. This, by the way, is a good thing, promoting continuity, and actually providing more flexibility for the front office than simply being locked into that "clean sheet" strategy. But why did they shift? That was a question left on the Locked On Lakers YouTube page. Was it the opportunity presented by a team that advanced to the Western Conference Finals after playing together for only a few weeks? Was it a reaction to a shift in the league towards continuity and depth? Was it the lack of any realistic way to add a big name star? Could be some of each, but this year now becomes a bit of a referendum on the shi by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

After Kevin Durant, who has been the Nets' second-most important player this season?: Who has been the Net's second-best player over the course of the season? It’s an interesting question to consider seeing how this season has gone for Brooklyn. Of course, Kevin Durant is the MVP, that much isn’t in dispute. But the runner-up requires some thinking. Is it Patty Mills because he’s played the most? Is it Kyrie Irving because his recent impact has been as good as any player in basketball? Or is it James Harden who had a terrible exit but was critical for the team earlier in the season? Maybe it’s someone else altogether.
