Lakers are trying to expand Anthony Davis trade and create ability to open max salary slot on July 6, sources tell @BobbyMarks42 and me. Lakers offering contracts of Mo Wagner/Jemerrio Jones/Isaac Bonga to additional teams, so LA can satisfy CBA rules on creating $32M in space.

They can go for it as long as it happens on the 6th.

They’re so screwed honestly. I don’t see them winning unless they pull off a miracle during FA

Oh my

They’re gonna have 4 guys on their roster (after a max deal) with no cap space remaining if that works

Which tells me that Griff is saying "frick you" every time Pelinka asks him to wait until July 30th.

Lakers are aggressively pursuing the purchase of second-round picks in Thursday's NBA Draft too, league sources tell ESPN. Those picks will offer two important things for LA: acquisition of inexpensive labor and ability to exceed the salary cap with those minimum contracts.

What sad is that they have enough if they are smart in FA. They dont need another max. Its like this team went to hell when Dr Buss died.

And he can totally do it respectfully. Like "I want our rookies to be on the summer league team together" sorry bro.

Guarantee that Boogie leaves GS and signs with them for cheap now that KD and Klay will be out and his boy AD is in California

Bobby marks

Under this scenario, Davis would need to waive all of his $4M trade bonus to make the money work. If there is a taker(s), LAL could sign 1 or multiple players with $32.5M in room on 7/6 and still make the AD trade on the same day. As of now, Los Angels will have $23.8M in room.

If they sign another max player wouldn’t that mean their entire team would consist of 3 max guys, Kuzma and the rest would be on bet minimums?

Cousins doesn't care about winning that much to play for minimum.

Especially considering the cash he just lost out on last year.

Followed up with this

This is what LeBron does to every team he’s been on This time it’s gonna backfire badly! He’s in his mid 30’s coming off a injury (which may be a sign of things to come) and stripping team of salary on a couple players to where he’s gonna have to play ALOT of minutes this thing is gonna blow up in LeBron AD and the Lakers face and it makes me smile AD forced a trade to a WORSE run organization!!
