Front-office sources have told ESPN that the Los Angeles Lakers are not slowing down in their pursuit of another NBA championship. Despite the fact that they were unable to resign center Dwight Howard, they are now looking at LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony for 2014.
One critic has said that the chance of the Lakers landing either one of these players is "realistic," however another critic described it as "far-fetched at this point."
"It's all wishful thinking at this point," a league source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN. "Teams are doing more wishing than LeBron is wanting right now."
The source went on to say: "It's not about where LeBron wants to go [to win]. He already has two rings. If LeBron moved to Reno, teams would come to him."
There is no word yet on whither Anthony would be interested in jumping ship either.
