!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcinzmfZeCcThe MLE and BAE are a little trickier. Both exceptions trigger the NBAâs hard cap, which should be roughly $139 million again next season (assuming the cap/tax/apron remain flat after a bad revenue year due to COVID). The MLE will be worth about $9.2M, and the BAE $3.6M. For those of you keeping score at home, the Lakers have $68,415,578 committed to 5 players next season, plus a likely $33M salary for Anthony Davis.
That means theyâd have something like 38 million to fit the rest of their roster under the hard cap, depending on where some final figures end up. If they want to use both exceptions, that means theyâd be limited to just $25 million to negotiate new deals for a combination of Caldwell-Pope, Bradley, McGee, Rondo, Morris, and Howard. And thereâs no getting around the hard cap with minimum-salary deals, so any end-of-bench deals for guys like Jared Dudley or a new rookie would have to fit in that $20 million range as well.
Is it possible? Maybe. It gets a lot easier if guys like Rondo and Howard take cheap deals, and the Lakers might be willing to part with one or both of Bradley and McGee if it means accessing those exceptions to sign new talent. Hell, if Caldwell-Pope is going to be too expensive, the Lakers could decide to let him walk, keep everyone else, and use the full MLE. The team can also turn their exceptions inward and use them to offer new deals to players like Morris and Howard who they donât have much flexibility to re-sign using free agent rights. Accepting the hard cap would be an imposition on the entire seasonâwill the Lakers do that if it might limit their potential to take on salary in a mid-season trade?
If the Lakers arenât able to make everything work within the constraints of the hard cap, theyâll forfeit their BAE entirely and have to accept the smaller taxpayer mid-level exception, which is worth around $5.7M and can only run for three seasons instead of four. It could be used to add a solid outside player or retain one of Rondo, Howard, or Morris if theyâre tempted by larger offers elsewhere.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I already know McGee isn't going to exercise his option because he's a minimum salary guy and he knows it, he's not getting 4.2 on the open market lol. As for the others, Rob got work to do

lets hope everyone just comes back with their respect player options minus mcgee
as you said , the market is dry so it's not like they can play hardball to go join the hornets lmao
Oct 13, 2020¡1 replyAll this team really needs imo is a solid 3 and D point, but Caruso and Rondo probably have PG locked up so itâd have to be a good ass player
Oct 13, 2020Give me an upgrade at Point and upgrade at center. Dwight is fine burn McGee is meh
Oct 13, 2020¡1 reply3 & D perimeter players is what itâs all about. this playoff run showed that a big man on an AD team is not a necessity, helps in the regular season for sure but ultimately isnât necessary to spend a lot of money there. If Dwight stays for cheap, great. Boogie could get the minimum from us and I expect him to.
3 & D perimeter players and maybe one volume scorer

I really donât like Caruso as a PG. Think Lakers need to find another ball handler because itâs unrealistic to depend on Rondo for an entire season to be healthy.
