Mitch Kupchak said the Los Angeles Lakers have received "an awful lot of interest in our young players."

D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle comprise the Lakers' young core along with Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr.

Kupchak said it's "unlikely" the Lakers complete a trade before Thursday's deadline.

The Lakers figure to have significant cap space in the offseason with the expiring contracts of Kobe Bryant and Roy Hibbert and the rising cap.
