Although the Los Angeles Lakers will enter the 2020-21 season as the prohibitive favorites to repeat as champions, the front office has several tough decisions to make regarding the roster.
Several key players are free agents and there is no guarantee who or how many will return as they will have their suitors come free agency. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope deserves a raise after his impressive performances in the NBA Finals, while Dwight Howard is reportedly already a target of the Golden State Warriors.
The Lakers will not have much cap room to play around with, but do have some assets that could net them a contributor via the trade market.
