With the offseason additions made by both teams in Los Angeles, are the Lakers and Clippers in a position to be legitimately dangerous in the West? Meanwhile, the Warriors made almost no offseason moves— are they going to find themselves in the play-in AGAIN? Elsewhere in the division, KOC and Legend try to be positive when discussing the Suns and Kings, but it’s no small task.

With the NFL season opener just days away, KOC is joined by ESPN’s Benjamin Solak to unpack the Micah Parsons trade to the Packers. Will Parsons be the missing piece in Green Bay’s defense and how damaging is this move for the Cowboys ahead of their season opener against the Eagles? The two also preview the Ravens vs. Bills season opener and discuss how high the Vikings’ ceiling can be when J.J. McCarthy takes the reins.
