According to the latest rumors, the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans will make the Anthony Davis deal official on July 6th. If Anthony Davis waives his trade kicker, LA will have $27.7 million to spend on building a roster during the offseason.
The Lakers also have two more resources at their disposal; the room exception ($4.76 million) and veteran minimum deals, both of which Rob Pelinka can use if he wants to go over the salary cap and into the luxury tax.
Rob Pelinka reportedly wants to continue to gut the roster and try to trade Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga, and Jermarrio Jones in order to carve out a spot for a third max player or to add another high-quality role player to the roster.
