Hibbert has a player option that year. and Brook Lopez will not be a max guy then either. especially when you have your Deandre Jordan's (team option) and Andre Drummond's (fa) becoming free agents or have the opportunity to opt out in 2015. even Marc Gasol will be a free agent that year. will they all get max contracts nope. will the Lakers gladly go over the cap and pay the luxury tax. Yup. they have always done this. this is the Lakers not OKC, Detroit, etc!!!! Lakers are a prime time money making team. and that wont change.

You seem to have no clue how the cap works. You can only go over the cap to resign your own players who have bird rights. You CANNOT go over the cap to sign new free agents (unless as an MLE etc) or to resign your own free agents after signing new players (they have to go under a cap hold at the start of free agency otherwise you forfeit their rights).
