The Lakers also did a great job retaining their key player. They got KCP and Morkieff Morris. KCP playerd a role like Sixth Man in the NBA Finals he chooses a free agency option and yet the Lakers got a hand on him.


Morris is a very good player who gives you only some points in a game but can provide a very good defense to the Lakers. 


Los Angeles Lakers got a very big player named Marc Gasol who is a very good player in assisting a ball, in scoring, a very good defender, and very good in pick and roll option. He is a 3-time all-star. The Lakers also got Alfonzo McKinnie.

NBA: Los Angeles Lakers win NBA finals after 10 years, LeBron James wins his 4th Finals MVP.


Last Season Golden State Warriors' Curry and Klay Thompson missed the season and because of this Golden State Warriors were in the last position on the table of Western Conference. This year they have a chance to compete for the title against Los Angeles Lakers with healthy Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green but even before the season starts, Klay Thomspon's injury put them in the backseat. Many regarded them as the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Lakers in Western Conference Finals.


Klay Thomson is one of the best 3-point shooters of all time and he is an elite defender to guard the elite offensive player of the opposition team. He can defend an elite scoring guard very well. Once again GSW will miss him very badly in the 2020-21 season.


Klay Thomspon has the record for most 3-pointer in one NBA game with 14 3-pointer made and most points in a single quarter with 37. 


Klay Thompson has the ability to play off the ball and he is the best to catch and shoot player and today's NBA. He doesn't need a ball in his hand to score many points. He scored 60 points in just 3 quarters in the 2016-17 season against Indiana Pacers.


Warriors just win a lottery by drafting Wiseman in the 2020 NBA Draft. He is a big man what GSW just needed with the shooters and Dryamong Green like the all-around player they have. Now Klay's absence put a huge hole in GSW's starting lineup. 


Now Los Angeles Lakers have another year to make into the NBA finals. 


Now to fill Klay Thompson's place GSW finalizing a trade to acquire OKC's young guard Kelly Oubre Jr who played his best NBA season with Chris Paul.
