Despite his impending retirement, LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, is still determined to win an NBA title. NBA insider Dave McMenamin revealed that James will continue to monitor the team's offseason moves that could affect his future.

Instead, new reporting from The Athletic’s Dan Woike and Joe Vardon clarifies that James has not asked for a trade or buyout. The Lakers have reportedly heard nothing from him or his representation about leaving. Meanwhile, the team is shifting focus toward Doncic’s long-term role in Los Angeles.

Luka Dončić's max extension with the Los Angeles Lakers makes him the new front-facing star of the team -- not LeBron James, an aging superstar playing the final years of a future Hall of Fame career. Still, James remains "supportive" of the franchise's move to lock in Dončić at three years and $165 million, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
