WINNER: LOS ANGELES LAKERS

Wojnarowski further reported, that according to his league sources, the Clippers are looking for trade packages for DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams, which more or less puts the franchise on the path of a rebuild. That's something the Los Angeles Lakers have been doing for quite a while but finally with some more seriousness this season with the likes of Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball.

Even with all their rich history of 17 NBA Championships, the Lakers have played second fiddle in the Tinseltown to the Clippers for the better part of this decade. Since letting go of the old management, and hiring Magic Johnson (President of Basketball Operations) and Rob Pelinka (General Manager), there seems to be some credible direction to their rebuild.
