The two of us discuss the new-look Los Angeles Lakers and whether or not the Denver Nuggets are still better than them. We also talk about how quickly teams like the Boston Celtics went from "can't miss future" to "rebuild 2.0." Lastly, we talk about which players on Denver's roster we would not trade for anyone, which ones we'd only trade for a superstar, and which ones might need to move on to make room for Jarred Vanderbilt and Michael Porter Jr.
