Buha also said the Lakers plan to “bolster their supporting cast and continue building around Davis and James.”
“Two players who almost certainly won’t be traded, barring them asking out of Los Angeles, are Davis ($43.2 million) and James ($48.7 million),” Buha wrote.“Despite the recent groundswell from certain media and fans to blow up the roster, the Lakers are not currently considering trading either superstar, according to team and league sources.”
“I don’t think LeBron and AD are going to be happy, and at that point, they can ask out… I think that opens up the possibility for some bigger changes in the offseason.”

“Rival teams will surely ask for Knecht and Christie, but again, those are two players the Lakers will prioritize keeping,” Buha wrote.
