The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly prioritizing Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves over LeBron James. Although James is arguably the greatest to ever pick up a basketball, it appears that the future of the franchise belongs to Reaves, and the recent recipient of a lucrative extension in Doncic.

Speaking of Doncic's extension, the superstar was asked about his team's title chances at the press conference announcing his new deal. The 26-year-old answered honestly about the shape of his current squad.

Finally, general manager Rob Pelinka is continuing to look for roster upgrades ahead of next season. The GM recently spoke about surrounding the two superstars of his team with more guys that can improve LA's championship odds.
