Joel Embiid Dominance + Latest On Sixers & Ben Simmons | Trae Young & Hawks 7 Game Win Streak | Bradley Beal & Wizards Falling FAST, Is It Time To Reset Things In Washington?

Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Ky Carlin (@Locked On Sixers) to discuss Joel Embiid's dominant stretch of games and growth as a leader for the Philadelphia 76ers plus what the Sixers intend to do with Ben Simmons heading into the NBA Trade Deadline. Is Embiid the MVP favorite so far this season? Are the Sixers a realistic landing spot for James Harden next summer? Is it a mistake to hold onto Simmons past the deadline with the season Embiid is having? How important has Tyrese Maxey's growth and development been?

Next, Brad Rowland (@Locked On Hawks) joins to talk over the Atlanta Hawks seven game win streak making their way up the standings in the Eastern Conference. What's been the key for the Hawks during this win streak? Why have the Hawks fallen off so much defensively this year compared to last season? How does Bogdan Bogdanovic look coming back from injury? How impactful has Onyeka Okongwu been? What do the Hawks need at the trade deadline?

Lastly, Ed Oliver (@Locked On Wizards) jumps in to break down the Washington Wizards 5 game slide, including a blown 35-point lead against the LA Clippers with no Kawhi Leonard or Paul George. What's the biggest difference NOW compared to the strong start of the season for Washington? Should Spencer Dinwiddie be coming off the bench? Who should be getting the most minutes at center, Thomas Bryant, Daniel Gafford or Montrezl Harrell? Why has Bradley Beal underperformed? Is it time to hit the reset button in Washington?
