The Los Angeles Lakers have a plan in place to free up enough cap room to potentially sign two max-level free agents next summer, but that plan could be in jeopardy thanks to allegations of tampering from the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers are suggesting that the Lakers made contact with forward Paul George, who ultimately was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a paltry return. Many teams around the league believe that George will sign with the Lakers in the summer of 2018, and as a result, they were unwilling to offer up much in a trade for him.
