Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Donte DiVincenzo are two players the Los Angeles Lakers were targeting in trade talks.
The Los Angeles Lakers are fully focused on building their future around generational superstar Luka Doncic. After pulling off a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Mavericks to get him ahead of the trade deadline last year, Doncic has taken over for LeBron James as the team's franchise player.
With his response, Doncic appears to have shut down any speculation about his future in LA. For the five-time All-Star, he wants to be remembered for raising more banners as a Laker, a feat that many greats before him have achieved.
The Los Angeles Lakers are not through looking for talent to add to their backcourt after signing Marcus Smart.
