Then, the guys debate what it means for the Western Conference playoff race and whether the Nuggets are suddenly a desirable opponent. They talk Clippers upside, Lakers, Warriors and teams that could push OKC in the postseason. Finally, they finish out with a discussion on which players belong in Round 1 of 2025-26 fantasy basketball drafts.
