Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome and to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. I'm Trevor Lane for

Lakersnation.com. It is game day. Lakers versus Clippers tonight. Can the Lakers finally get back in

the win column losers of three straight and just two and eight in their first 10 games. Yikes,

potentially not using their first round picks in a trade to try to save this team.

I want to break down what that's all about.

Plus, are the Lakers actually waiting for one specific trade target to come out onto the market?

We'll talk about that a little bit.

And I've got some fan questions and comments that will finish out the show with some

round picks if the season continues to go down this path.
