I'll be shocked if he gets more than the MLE from a team. Taxpayer or non-taxpayer (lol).

Russ and 2023 and 2029 for buddy and turner?I just hope we land either Myles Turner or Buddy. We need shooting.
Been fiddling around with Excel and the salaries, and there's so many possibilities.IF Lakers plan to use their non-taxpayer MLE (12.2mil) they'll have to stay below the first apron (170mil total) is my understanding.
Currently under contract 2023:
Bron 47mil
AD 41mil
Vando 4.7mil
Shaq Harrison 2.4mil
Max Christie 1.7mil
=96.8mil
Malik Beasley Club option 16.5mil + Mo Bamba 10.3mil= 26.8mil
96.8 + 26.8mil = 123.6mil
AR should be able to get on the books for 12mil first 2 years before his contract goes way up
123.6mil + 12mil = 135.6mil
DLo reportedly wants 25mil+
135+25mil = 160mil
Would have to get Rui on a paycut and then can use Bi-annual/Mid level and veteran minimums around the rest. Lakers have very little flexibility and can't miss on their mid-level signing. Will have to scour the bargain bin for nice veteran minimums, hands are tied
Way too many possibilities.Been fiddling around with Excel and the salaries, and there's so many possibilities.
And if they plan on using the NTMLE and/or BAE.Way too many possibilities.
Will know more once we decide on Bamba and Beasley. That’s huge domino to fall. That decision tells us if we are gonna have option for cap space or not.
Some now some later.So are the new cap rules in effect this year, or years coming?
cj mccollum trash lolSome now some later.
Cap rules are so dumb. They will be revised in a few years is my prediction. The unintended consequences is gonna cause a lock out of sorts. Medium tiered players gonna get squeezed. In years past they woulda just picked up Bamba and Beasley option to trade it but now they might be reluctant bc of alll these tax aprons etc.
Draft picks will be more valuable bc of cost controlled contracts. Less trades. Less hype about trades. That’s the NBAs bread and butter. Nobody watches the actual games lol
Lol Reaves was a 2nd year player who we trusted with the ball more than our superstar players.Lakers are in win now mode, they don’t have time to develop players
Lakers are in win now mode, they don’t have time to develop players
Yep, the only teams that can't make a trade would be the Nuggets and Heat until their series is over.Question is. Can Malik and Bamba be traded between now and June 29th and waived by new team?
If so that’s an incredible trade chip. Teams without cap space and make it immediatelyYep, the only teams that can't make a trade would be the Nuggets and Heat until their series is over.
