Must Waive Players

Financial

Lakers are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($13.3M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are now an over second apron team after this trade, they are not able to aggregate players in a trade. This means for example, that they cannot send out two players to acquire one with a similar salary to both.

Financial

Lakers are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over second apron team after this trade, they are only able to take back 100% of the salary they are sending out, plus $0.

Cut $6.2M from the Lakers incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Lakers.
