The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly keen to make a big splash in free agency this summer by pursuing four-time All-Star Al Horford.
ESPN's Marc Stein reported the news of the Lakers' intentions to make a run at the longtime Atlanta Hawks big man on Wednesday.
Horford has been with the Hawks since they selected him third overall in the 2007 NBA draft. With the league's salary cap rising and no realistic championship chances to date in Atlanta, though, Horford is bound to explore his options.
Stein also reported the Hawks are trying to trade two first-round picks in the hopes of persuading Horford to stay put.
