How could a decline in the NBA salary cap help the Los Angeles Lakers?

The NBA saw a huge decline in revenue last season for a variety of reasons. Those include the COVID-19 pandemic, rising tensions with China, illegal streaming of games and the fact some games were played in the morning and afternoon.

With that being said, there was a report that came out that the salary cap is expected to dip between $3 and $12 million. That is a large amount and could have a huge impact on teams across the board.
