A big by any other name? Why the Brooklyn Nets need to be selective in adding size

RUMOR: Are The New York Knicks The Favorite For Kyrie Irving? Should They Want Him? With Locked On Nets' Adam Armbrecht: Kyrie Irving is many things. One of the most skilled players to ever touch a basketball who scores effortlessly and has the ability to dominate on the biggest stages? Check. Potentially utterly destructive to a young locker room? Also check. Herein lies the conundrum the New York Knicks face when considering whether or not they should pursue Irving who according to reports is at somewhat of a standstill in contract negotiations with the Brooklyn Nets. Gavin Schall is joined by Locked On Nets Co-Host Adam Armbrecht to discuss if Irving's talent is worth the trouble, what the Knicks would need to give up to facilitate a potential trade, the state of both franchises and much more!

Ranking Pittsburgh Steelers Top Free Agent Needs/Targets: J.C. Jackson/Bobby Wagner vs. O-Line: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV on the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have major needs to fill in free agency, but where do they start? Stars like J.C. Jackson, Carlton Davis, Bobby Wagner are available, but so are key offensive linemen like Ryan Jensen, Terron Armstead and Brandon Scherff. What's the most important target for Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin? They'll also need to take a look at whether the team should keep pending free agents like Ahkello Witherspoon, Terrell Edmunds and Joe Haden. Cornerback becomes a very important investment, and it may become the biggest move of the offseason to make the Steelers' defense elite again in their efforts to compete with top receivers like Ja'Marr Chase. But fixing the offensive line has to be a priority, and that's why signing at least one veteran offensive lineman with pedigree sh by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Kevin Durant to the Memphis Grizzlies - fresh NBA rumors and new suitors for Brooklyn Nets superstar: The Kevin Durant trade market is alive and well. The question now, is when will teams stop dipping their toes in the water and dive in? Adam Armbrecht takes a look at the latest Shams Charania article for The Athletic which among others, discusses the Memphis Grizzlies discuss a trade for the soon to be 34-year old Kevin Durant. A package mostly about draft picks will not excite the Nets fanbase, or Sean Marks for that matter but it does highlight the asset value equation that teams must do. Adam highlights that while the perfect deal has not been offered, as more time passes more more teams are coming to table. Adam also notes the Atlanta Hawks package, discussed in the article as well, which along with the Boston Celtics seemingly puts a realistic floor on the market. Now, it is simply the matter an extra pick here, a prospect there from the trade buzz to really hit full tilt. Learn by Locked On Nets - Daily Podcast On The Brooklyn Nets

Lastly, Adam ponders on a young center making his way back, and if his versatility might be a much needed asset, should these teams meet again down the playoff line. Learn more about your ad choices.

Five game win streak snapped as fatigue sets in for the Brooklyn Nets in Chicago: We're back talking all things Brooklyn Nets basketball! Adam Armbrecht flies solo following the 118-95 loss on the road to the Chicago Bulls. This was a game that ultimately came down to fatigue, as the Nets played their third game in four nights and the second of a back to back. There were times this one got down right sloppy, but overall it was another litmus test for the Nets as the feel their way through early season adjustments. James Harden's road to recovery took a modest step forward as he continues to discuss the definition of a foul with NBA officials. Harden showed he is continuing to hit his stride, including on the defensive end where he was consistently disruptive in the passing lanes. Adam then reminds us how Kevin Durant continues to be automatic, getting to spots with ease, even though he did give Nets fans a collective scare - over extending his right shoulder on a loose ball.

Kenny Atkinson Scouting Report: Is He a Good Choice to Coach the Lakers?: Former Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson is reportedly (along with Darvin Ham and Terry Stotts) among the finalists for the Lakers head coaching job. His tenure hit a high point while guiding a young team featuring D'Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen, but once Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving arrived, Atkinson's job security felt immediately in danger, which raises questions about his ability to coach LeBron James, Anthony Davis and (possibly) Russell Westbrook. Then again, in fairness to Atkinson, his time in Brooklyn was also very specifically weird, meaning it may not be fair to think of him as best suited for a rebuilding squad, rather than one with a directive to be ready for primetime. All these issues (and more!) are presented to Adam Ambrecht, co-host of the Locked On Nets podcast, who covered the man who preceded Steve Nash.
