The 2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers season is the franchise's 72nd season, its 71st season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 60th in Los Angeles. The team will attempt to make the postseason for the first time since 2013. On April 9, 2019, Magic Johnson stepped down as president of basketball operations. Three days after that, Luke Walton and the team agreed to part ways. On May 13, the team hired Frank Vogel as their new head coach and Jason Kidd was appointed as assistant coach. On June 15, the Lakers agreed to a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans to acquire 6-time NBA All-Star player Anthony Davis, though the deal would not take full effect until July 6. In exchange for Davis, the Lakers agreed to give up Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, three first round picks (including their No. 4 overall selection in 2019), and a first round pick swap in 2023. On June 27, the Washington Wizards joined the trade to get Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga, Jemerrio Jones and the Lakers' 2022 second-round pick in exchange for cash considerations. After the trade, the Lakers currently stand at the top of the Western Conference, with a record of 27-7, the second-best record in the NBA this season. The current record included a 17-2 start to the season, the best start in franchise history.
