Maybe this Lakers team is not better than the one from the previous season, but it saves them money, and if they wave Shamet they can stay out of the tax. Also they create big room for the next season, even if they decide to extend LeBron, or they have two big expiring contracts in Shamet (if not waived) and Holmes to trade at deadline with some of the picks they got for a pretty good point guard.
