Outside of the blockbuster trade for Luka Doncic, the breakout season from Austin Reaves provides hope for the future in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly eyeing Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl to bolster their frontcourt defense. Poeltl, who has expressed his desire to stay in Toronto, could become a trade target if extension talks stall.

When it comes to whether Luka Doncic will sign a contract extension to stay with the Lakers, LeBron James says he won't play a role.
