EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After positioning themselves to potentially clear as much as $70 million in cap space by trading Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. to Cleveland for Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson reiterated that the Los Angeles Lakers will pursue two elite star players.
Johnson, the team president, said he remains confident that he and general manager Rob Pelinka will lure two stars to Los Angeles in either this July's free agency -- which could include the likes of LeBron James and Paul George -- and/or the 2019 free agency.
