On today’s episode of Locked On NBA, Wes Goldberg is joined by Matt Moore (Locked On Nuggets) and Haize (Locked On Bulls) to discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo’s surprising claim that winning a EuroBasket bronze medal may mean more to him than his NBA championship, the Golden State Warriors’ contract standoff with Jonathan Kuminga and which side really has the leverage, and the EuroBasket players who stood out enough to earn a potential NBA opportunity. The crew also debates whether restricted free agency is broken under the new CBA and reacts to Shane Larkin’s honest take on why he chose overseas basketball over being an NBA role player.
