Is OKC Scaring the Lakers & Other into Not Making Trades? | Is Cade Cunningham Top 10?

This episode of Locked On NBA Daily features Nick Angstadt, Matt Moore, and Haize as they break down how the Oklahoma City Thunder's dominance is shifting NBA trade market strategies and teams' willingness to make big moves. The hosts debate whether Cade Cunningham is already a top-10 NBA player after his hot start with the Detroit Pistons and discuss his All-NBA potential compared to established stars like Tyrese Maxey, Anthony Davis, and Jalen Brunson. They dive into the tension between Klutch Sports and the Los Angeles Lakers, especially regarding moves to build around LeBron James versus Luka Doncic. The crew also examines the Memphis Grizzlies’ complicated season, the injury to Zach Edey, and whether it's time for Memphis to consider a full rebuild. Throughout, the hosts offer sharp insight into NBA player rankings, team-building philosophies, and the current landscape across the league. 0:00 – OKC's Dominance Impact 10:45 – Cade Cunningham Top 10? 20:44 – Grizzlies: Time to Rebuild?
