The Los Angeles Lakers would have "serious interest" in trading for Trae Young should the Atlanta Hawks decide to make a move, sources told Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report.

Sources around the league believe that the Hawks will deal Young this summer, according to Pincus.

The Lakers would have to wait until July to make a deal due to a hard cap at the first apron that expires at the end of June. 

With the Spurs also registering interest, the Pistons are seen as a "wild card" to trade for Young.

The Eastern Conference seeds are set following the end of regular season on Sunday. The first round begins on Saturday, April 20th.
