The New Orleans Pelicans’ young centers Yves Missi and Karlo Matković are at the center of trade rumors as the New York Knicks search for the missing piece in their title repeat hopes.

Gavin Schall and guest Locked On Pelicans Jake Madison break down Missi’s elite rim protection, Matković’s intriguing stretch potential, and how each could fit into Tom Thibodeau’s rotation alongside Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond.
The show explores the Pelicans’ reluctance to deal their young assets, the Knicks’ desperate need for frontcourt depth, and asset valuation including Deuce McBride, draft picks, and rising prospects. Plus, the legacy of Jose Alvarado’s title run and his impact in both New York and New Orleans rounds out this insightful episode for Knicks and Pelicans fans alike.

The New York Knicks dominate the NBA Opps Tier List: can any team challenge their supremacy in a seven-game series? XJ pulls no punches, ranking top contenders like the Philadelphia 76ers and a rebuilt Toronto Raptors squad led by Kawhi Leonard, while breaking down playoff matchups and identifying key threats.
