The Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA offseason are in focus as we break down the latest news, roster moves, trade possibilities and front-office decisions shaping the Western Conference.

Keith Smith from Spotrac joins us this morning to provide his insight on the Lakers’ offseason outlook, salary-cap situation, roster construction and potential moves heading into the new NBA season.

The LA Clippers have been punished — what does it mean for the franchise moving forward? Plus, we take a closer look at the Lakers’ front office and what their offseason plan could look like, including the potential impact of Ziaire Williams.

We’ll also debate whether the Lakers should consider trading Jaden Hardy and Dalton Knecht, what their trade value could be, and whether making a move would improve the team around Luka Dončić.
