The first chapter of LeBron James's and Luka Doncic's story in Los Angeles didn't have a happy ending as the Lakers got knocked out of the NBA playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday night.

LeBron James makes sure everyone knows that Luka Doncic's future with the Los Angeles Lakers is not his job. The Los Angeles Lakers had their season ended in dominating fashion as the team was beaten in five games in their first round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

After the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in February, the five-time All-Star met with general manager Rob Pelinka and asked him to trade for a specific player. Doncic wanted to play with a center who was a lob threat since he had success playing with Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II in Dallas.
