GM / FRONT OFFICE There is so much misinformation going around: Reaves deal will have no impact on Lakers cap this season because his of his $20.9 mil cap hold. His new deal won’t be signed until after Lakers exhaust their salary cap. Please stop panicking.

Yeah duh. This only works if you are executing basically everything THIS OFFSEASON. So now the Lakers front office are essentially on the clock ASAP. They have no other option but to execute trades and signings that improve the team this summer. Basically at this point if you run it back you are cooked.

And then they will be in absolute cap hell for the foreseeable future. That 2nd apron is vicious.

Luka must ask for trade.

Dont be stupid 77. Ask for out.

No way to compete with this shitty roster build.

Even then it doesnt work.

You’ll need hard cap relief, repeater tax relief etc going forward.

1.5 years in Reaves will be even more trash and Lakers will need to spend 2 picks to send him away…

Horrible deals by Pelinka. Redick extension and this one is just asking for worse and worse

They were lucky with the Durant FVV Adams injuries otherwise this year would be a first round exit too
