The 2020–21 Los Angeles Lakers season will be the franchise's 73rd season, its 72nd season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), its 61st season in Los Angeles, and their 21st season playing home games at Staples Center. The Lakers will be coached by Frank Vogel[1][2] in his 2nd year as team head coach.
The Lakers will enter the season as the defending Pacific Division, Western Conference Champions, and NBA champions, and will attempt to win back-to-back division titles for the first time since the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The Lakers will also attempt to win back-to-back conference titles for the first time since the 2009 and 2010 seasons, as well as their first back-to-back NBA titles since 2009 and 2010.
Draft
editRound | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School / club team |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 28 | Jaden McDaniels | SF | United States | Washington (Fr.) |
- This was a traded pick with the Oklahoma City Thunder that sent Danny Green and the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels to the Thunder in return for Dennis Schröder.[3]
- Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Lakers' first-round selection was held stuck as the 29th pick of the draft with their record being the second-best of all NBA teams behind the Milwaukee Bucks the prior season at 49–14 before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020.[4] However, the Lakers did resume their season in the 2020 NBA Bubble, eventually winning their 17th championship there against the Miami Heat, leaving them a chance to move their first-round pick up or down for the 2020 draft. In the bubble, the Toronto Raptors ended up finishing with a better overall record than the Lakers, moving their first-round pick to the 28th selection instead, though still finishing as the best Western Conference team that season. The Lakers only held one first-round selection for this draft, as they traded their second-round pick to the Orlando Magic for the draft rights to Talen Horton-Tucker in last season's draft.[5]

The 2020–21 Golden State Warriors season will be the 75th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 59th in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Warriors enter the season with a chance to come back into championship contention, after having a losing season last year with a record of 15–50. It was also the first time that the Warriors missed the playoffs since 2012. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the 2019–20 NBA season to be temporarily suspended, the Warriors haven't played a game since March 2020. The season is expected to begin on December 22, 2020.
The Warriors hope to start the season with a healthy Stephen Curry, as he previously injured his second metacarpal against the Phoenix Suns at Chase Center on October 30, 2019, causing him to miss 60 of the 65 games available. The Warriors also expect to have a healthy Kevon Looney, who was struggling with neuropathy for most of the season, as he only played 20 games. Klay Thompson was also expected to be healthy this season, but on November 19, 2020, it was announced that he would miss the entire season due to injuring his right Achilles tendon.[1] Thompson hasn't played in an NBA game since Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals.
As a result of being the worst team in the league, the Warriors got a lottery pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. It turned out to be the 2nd pick in the draft, and with that pick they drafted University of Memphis center James Wiseman.[2] They also selected point guard Nico Mannion and shooting guard Justinian Jessup with the 48th and 51st picks, respectively.[3]

---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 | James Wiseman | C | United States | Memphis (Fr.) |
2 | 48 | Nico Mannion | PG | Italy | Arizona (Fr.) |
2 | 51 | Justinian Jessup | SG | United States | Boise State (Sr.) |
Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Warriors' selection was held stuck as the #1 selection of the draft with their record being the worst of all NBA teams the prior season at 15–50 before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020 and cancelled the rest of Golden State's season by June 5.[4] As a result, they held the best odds to stay at #1 alongside the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2020 draft, though also holding the highest odds to fall as low as the #5 pick with 47.9% odds of dropping there. The Warriors ended the 2020 NBA draft lottery with the #2 selection, dropping down one spot with the Timberwolves moving up to the #1 position. In addition to their first-round pick, the Warriors also gained two second-round picks from previous trades involving the Dallas Mavericks.
