No team reloads like the Los Angeles Lakers.
Their
track record of leveraging their hometown appeal and history, plus
applying shrewd management, over the past 30 years is virtually without
peer.
With their latest coups -- the stunning Steve Nash sign-and-trade and a victory in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes -- just now coming together for the first time, could the Lakers already be plotting out the next one?
Opposing
executives think so. As teams continue their long-range planning and
work up opposition strategies, the Lakers remain just as much a threat
in the transaction game as they are on the court.
Several teams' executives have told ESPN.com they believe the Lakers are positioning themselves to make a run at LeBron James in 2014, when the Miami Heat star can choose to become a free agent.
easy to make the connection with Brown in L.A. but we are looking a little too far ahead no? And Lebron has the option to opt out in 2014, but he could stay. Who knows maybe a four-peat by then. I kheed, i keed
