The Lakers have indirectly made it clear that they're now building their roster for and around Luka Doncic and not LeBron James.

LeBron James reportedly believes that the Los Angeles Lakers are building towards the future instead of focusing on the team's short-term success.

The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James have been the biggest story in the NBA rumor mill over the last week. His future with the team has been very much in doubt, but there have been no concrete reports about what the future may hold.
