TRADE: Clippers get John Collins, Beal next? Dame to Celtics Buzz, and Warriors Free Agency Mystery

The NBA offseason isn’t slowing down. On today’s Locked On NBA, Doug Branson, Matt Moore, and Haize break down a three-team trade between the Clippers, Heat, and Jazz that sends Norman Powell to Miami, John Collins to LA, and continues Utah's asset fire sale. What does this mean for a potential Bradley Beal buyout, and could it open the door for Beal to land with the Clippers?

The guys also dig into the growing buzz around Damian Lillard joining the Celtics, with Boston reportedly leading the chase if a buyout with the Bucks occurs. Would Dame accept a bench role and veteran minimum? And would Boston actually benefit from the move, or are they just repeating the Kemba Walker mistake?

In Denver, new acquisition Jonas Valanciunas is reportedly looking to head back to Greece before even suiting up—Matt explains why his connection to Nikola Jokic’s agent adds a spicy twist. Meanwhile, the Warriors have yet to make a meaningful move, Jonathan Kuminga’s future is in limbo, and Haize wonders if Golden State has lost its identity entirely.

Finally, Kyrie Irving gives a vague update that may indicate he’s missing most, if not all, of the upcoming season. What does that mean for Cooper Flagg's rookie year in Dallas?

It’s wild trades, shifting power dynamics, and roster chaos all in one episode. Don’t miss this one.
