Lakers losing Morris to Clippers could effect playoff future — Ric Bucher | NBA | SPEAK FOR YOURSELF

The trade deadline has come and gone, and Jason Whitlock is joined by Marcellus Wiley, Ric Bucher and Doug Gottlieb to talk the winners and losers among the trades. The Los Angeles Clippers gained Marcus Morris, which could give them the edge they need over the Lakers. Ric Bucher doesn't believe losing Morris in the trade will be enough to push LeBron James to leave Los Angeles, but if the Lakers are unable to compete in the regular season with their current line-up, he could see Anthony Davis branching out to another team where he gets to run his own ship.
