The Pacific Division, headlined by the Los Angeles Lakers, is arguably the NBA’s toughest division for the upcoming season.

The NBA’s 2020-21 regular season begins on December 22nd, and it is expected to be a very exciting year for basketball fans all over the world.

With a shortened off-season, it feels like there has been no time in between the 2020 NBA finals, and opening night. However, during this brief offseason, there has been no shortage in the amount of movement around the league with coaching changes and free agency.

The Western Conference has seen a lot of change over the past two months, especially in the Pacific Division.

It is expected to be the league’s strongest division next to the Atlantic Division out in the Eastern Conference. With all five teams in the division including the 2020 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers, looking to make a run at the playoffs in May, it’s time to take a preview at each team’s upcoming season.
