ok. so in 2 years How much will the Lakers be under the cap. The majority of the Lakers roster comes off the books within the next 2 years except Kobe. and how many of those players do you think LA will resign?
Im also projecting. of course they couldnt pull these moves off this season. but in 2 years yes. theyll have more contracts off the books and money to burn.
none of you all seem to be projecting potential salary cap space etc.
