It's been a busy week around the NBA as camps are set to open next week. Nick Angstadt (Locked on Mavs, Locked on NBA) joins to break down the Lakers offseason (and this week's appearance for Dwight Howard on The Masked Singer), look at the range of possible outcomes for the Mavericks, who have seen more change in the last 10 months than the last 10 years, and figure out what happens in the Ben Simmons saga, which is potentially tied to the saga in Minnesota around their now-fired GM.So lots to talk about!HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest, Nick Angstadt)SEGMENT 1: Dwight Howard is a singing octopus, a headline that would have caused Lakers fans to riot in 2012 but is just something fun to enjoy in 2021 on Howard's third tour with Los Angeles. That's a good thing. Meanwhile, is he, like most of the roster, a little too long in the tooth? Where does age matter, and where does it not? Did the Lakers get enough shooting?SEGMENT 2: The Mavs have seen a tremendous amount of change this offseason, and are a popular dark horse pick in the West. Why, though? Is it just Luka Doncic? How much better is Dallas this year compared to last? Could they push the Lakers? Angstadt delivers a scouting report.SEGMENT 3. Andrew Wiggins won't get vaxxed up in the Bay, Ben Simmons wants out but has no natural landing spot, and Minnesota is - still - a mess of management.
