Possible Lakers free-agent targets

Land O' Lakers | ESPN Los Angeles — Those expecting a major upheaval from the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason are likely to be disappointed. Unless Dwight Howard bolts in free agency or Pau Gasol is traded, the primary cast of this season’s underachieving squad is all but certain to remain intact as the Lakers look to preserve cap space for summer 2014, when only Steve Nash and Howard would be on the books and the Lakers would be in prime position to reload. Heading into the 2013-14 season, the Lakers have five players under guaranteed contracts: Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Steve Blake, Jordan Hill and Nash.
