Sources: Lakers hustling to create max salary slot

The Los Angeles Lakers are scrambling to reshape the parameters of the Anthony Davis trade with New Orleans and create the ability for $32 million-plus in salary cap space when the free agent moratorium ends on July 6, league sources tell ESPN.

The Lakers were engaging additional teams on Tuesday to take on the contracts of three of the remaining four players on the team's roster --- Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones, league sources said. Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James are the only other two Lakers remaining on the team's end-of-season roster.
