Seems like every off-season something new happens that I didn't even know was possible lol

With Randle's bird rights, the Lakers can go over the cap to sign him, but he still counts against their salary cap as $12 million until he signs a new deal, which hurts their chances of being able to sign other guys like LeBron/PG13. I'm guessing they'll have to renounce his cap hold and let him walk unrestricted in order to make 3 max guys work but I haven't done the exact math on that yet.
