The Los Angeles Lakers have two of the best players in basketball on their current roster in LeBron James and Luka Doncic. The Lakers also, reportedly, are making a decision that doesn't attempt to maximize that fact.

The Los Angeles Lakers may need to make major adjustments to the roster this summer if they wish to be true championship contenders again. But there is one thing they definitely do not want to do: lose Luka Doncic.

Los Angeles Lakers are making strategic moves. Luka Doncic is now central to the team's future. LeBron James is still with the Lakers. But the focus is shifting. Doncic's potential contract extension is a priority.
