According to Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times, San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan has interest in joining the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason, even if it’s for less than his next contract projection.
Turner also writes that DeRozan’s former teammate in Toronto, Kyle Lowry, also has interest in the Lakers.
How much can the Lakers offer DeRozan?
DeRozan is projected to get a new contract in the range of $25.9 million to $34.9 million per ProFitX.
Since the Lakers are an over the cap team this offseason, the most they can offer is the non-tax payer mid-level exception of $9.
