Then, they take a closer look at the Lakers’ post-IST struggles before offering up suggestions for potential trades to help fix both them and the Golden State Warriors (13:01), before wrapping things up with their power rankings in the Western Conference and how, specifically, the surging Los Angeles Clippers stack up (54:56).
