The NBA offseason is off to a roaring start and appears to have no interest in letting up. The LN Podcast sorts through all of the madness by bringing in Yahoo Sports NBA Insider Jordan Schultz, who discusses L.A.’s plans for free agency.

Additionally, we discuss all the latest Paul George rumors and analyze why it may be difficult for the Lakers to trade for him at this point. We also dig into the Chris Paul trade and explain why the Clippers did better than most would think and the Houston Rockets are taking a huge risk.

Jordan Clarkson’s value on the trade market is questioned and we wrap things up by getting a New Yorker’s response to the Phil Jackson ouster with the Knicks. All that and much more on this absolutely packed show:
