This trade would result in the Lakers crossing the tax apron of ($172.3M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $35.9M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Used more than taxpayer portion ($5,000,000.00) of their mid-level exception to sign Gabe Vincent (est. $10,500,000).. Used their bi-annual exception to sign Taurean Prince ($4,516,000).

Lakers are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over apron team after this trade, they are only able to take back 110% of the salary they are sending out, plus $0.

Lakers can only take back $183.2M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $18.8M from the Lakers incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Lakers.
