Thunder Best In NBA + SGA For MVP? | Grizzlies Direction After Morant Injury? | Keys To Massive Jazz Turnaround... Legit Playoff Threat?

Jackson Gatlin (@Locked On Rockets) is joined by Rylan Stiles (@Locked On Thunder) to discuss if the OKC Thunder are currently the best team in the NBA, what makes this Thunder team so special, how Mark Daigneault has turned the second youngest roster in the NBA into a contender, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's case for the MVP award, and how active should we expect OKC and Sam Presti to be at the trade deadline.

Then, Joe Mullinax (@Locked On Grizzlies) drops by to talk about the direction of the Memphis Grizzlies after Ja Morant's season-ending shoulder injury, pros and cons of staying competitive vs bottoming out for a top pick, and expectations of what the Grizzlies organization would do with a top pick down the line, either making the selection or trading the pick for another win-now piece.

Lastly, David Locke (@Locked On Jazz) breaks down the Utah Jazz ridiculous turnaround since the start of the season, now 8-2 in their last 10 including wins over the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks, keys to their dominant play as of late, whether or not this success is sustainable, is Utah a legit playoff threat in the Western Conference, and Lauri Markkanen's role as the No. 1 guy.
