NBA: Breaking down the Lakers, Clippers after a dramatic offseason
Breaking down both Los Angeles teams in the NBA after they dramatically changed the look of their rosters during the summer
As this summer’s free agency period comes to an end, there’s no question that the two teams that have stolen the free agency show in July – besides Brooklyn, of course – has been the two L.A. teams: the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
