Curry and Bazemore were teammates during the 2020-21 season with the Warriors. The team had a rocky campaign, but it was an entertaining one.

Bazemore was a decent contributor for Golden State this past year. He averaged 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He shot 44.9 percent from the field and a whopping 40.8 percent from deep.

The Lakers are going to benefit greatly from his 3-point shooting abilities.

As for Curry, he is still with the Warriors and is chasing his fourth NBA title. Golden State figures to be a contender in the 2021-22 season.

Curry is coming off of a ridiculous 2020-21 campaign in which he won the scoring title. He averaged 32.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. He made 48.2 percent of his shots from the field and a colossal 42.1 percent of his shots from 3-point land.

Both the Lakers and Warriors project to be elite teams in the Western Conference next season.
