he Los Angeles Lakers are focused on signing LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in the 2014 offseason, according to sources.The Lakers have refused to commit to contracts that extend beyond the 13-14 season to maximize cap space.One source described the plan as "realistic", while another calls it "far-fetched at this point.
"Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh could also become free agents, while Luol Deng, Danny Granger, Andrew Bogut and Dirk Nowitzki will be unrestricted free agents."It's all wishful thinking at this point," a league source with knowledge of the situation said.
"Teams are doing more wishing than LeBron is wanting right now."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."
UPDATED FANS ALREADY BURNING DWIGHT HOWARD JERSEY.
Magic Johnson's 20-year-old son hit the Sunset Strip, hand in hand with his boyfriend ... and his parents couldn't be happier for their kid.
Earvin Johnson III -- aka EJ -- is one of Magic's 3 kids. The Lakers legend tells TMZ, "Cookie and I love EJ and support him in every way." Magic goes on, "We're very proud of him."
The feeling is mutual ... 'cause EJ told us he's been "hoping and praying" for his dad's team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, ever since Magic and his business partners took over the franchise.
He's also a huge Lakers fan ... obviously.
EJ -- who's a student at NYU -- has a close relationship with his parents. Back in August, Magic tweeted, "Thx to my son EJ for hosting me at NYU. Look forward to taking him to dinner tonight in the city."
