Plus the Lakers are the type of organization who would likely go a little above the cap and pay at least some luxury tax. They do what they have to in order to win. They would fill out the roster with something.
Would be willing to wager anything you want that this team wouldnt 3peat.
This is the legendary Lakers franchise. Not some wannabe Warriors franchise.

(1) LAL were well aware of the salary cap ramifications of the Davis trade
(2) LAL knew/knows there are several ways to get a max slot
(3) LAL is confident that it could either: (a) swing a deal to rid Wagner, Bonga, Jones contracts OR (b) delay trade completion date

I've been sent articles from yahoo to bleacher from my laker hating buddies about how we botched this, this and that. The amount of clickbait crap the lakers garner is insane. Needless to say, I am not shocked by this tweet that we have a tiny little clue about whats going on. I am only confident about that bc Magic is gone thank god.

It would be nice to delay this trade. We pick whoever the Pels want, and throw in a next years 2nd as a thank you...

We don't have a pick in the draft tonight, as of right now. I fully expect them to buy a pick or 2, though. We're gonna need some cheap players on the team to fill out the roster next year.

Yeah I think they spend a couple mill for a pick, maybe even 2 ala Jordan Bell and the Warriors.
Also just saw the warriors and heat each bought one from the Hawks, surprised the lakers didn't get it on any of them

We've had good luck buying picks. If I'm not mistaken Jordan Clarkson was a bought draft pick.
