## Resource

The NBA offseason is officially underway, and desperation season has arrived. On today’s episode of Locked On NBA Daily, Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize discuss which NBA teams face the most pressure to make a major move this summer. With Giannis Antetokounmpo dominating the rumor mill, only one team can land him. So which contenders are running out of time? Then the crew breaks down a fascinating NBA Draft discussion inspired by No Ceilings: how much should teams value shot creation when evaluating prospects? Is self-creation the most important skill in modern basketball, and which prospects stand out most in this year's class? Finally, the focus shifts to the Golden State Warriors. New reporting suggests the Warriors aren't optimistic about landing either Giannis or LeBron James. If that's true, what should Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office do next? Is there another star available, or does Golden State need to rethink its entire approach around Stephen Curry? Subscribe for daily NBA analysis, trade rumors, draft coverage, free agency updates, and everything happening around the league this offseason.
