The Lakers were reportedly readying a move for Davis, and want to use the 26-year-old as a trade piece.
Davis is seen as a potential co-star to LeBron James, and the Lakers apparently want the deal to be done sooner rather than later.
Next summer, the New Orleans Pelicans star can sign a supermax contract earning £188.5 million over the next five years.
And the Lakers will want to prevent that from happening.
However, it could be more difficult for them to make a move for Davis if they are forced to trade Caldwell-Pope.

The shooting guard and his team have reportedly been exploring possible destinations, as all parties involved prepare for a deal to be done.
This summer, he signed a new £9.9 million one-year contract to commit his future to Los Angeles.
Bleacher Report claims that the Rockets are hell-bent on acquiring Caldwell-Pope, after they missed out on signing Trevor Ariza.
Both the Rockets and the Lakers were in for Ariza, but in the end the veteran ended up back at the Washington Wizards.
Caldwell-Pope has a points-per-game average of 9.1, but his impact on the court is expected to be the major selling point.
The Rockets are still after a perimeter player since letting go of power forward Carmelo Anthony.
The 34-year-old was given up on by the franchise after failing to make an impact in the first ten games.
He is still on the team’s roster, so can be used as a potential trade piece.
If the Rockets are to make a move for Caldwell-Pope, it is entirely likely that they will offer up Anthony as part of the deal.
James is close friends with Anthony, and rumours have persisted that a trade could see the pair link up in Los Angeles.
