7-for-1. If LAL figures out how to offload some of Mavs' outgoing to team 3, Mavs do have enough cap space to refill empty spaces.
Mavs are left with:
Lively
AD
PJW
Flagg
Max
Kyrie
B Will
(and LBJ incoming)
Fill roster with merry minimums. (Plan B: can have MLE if only have 14 players, in which case the cushion under A2 is ~1M).
Would you dare? LAL obviously likes it and begs you to do it.
It would never happen, but I’m not shedding a tear for any of those outgoing.
Comes down to if Gafford, Naji, Klay is worth Lebron. I’m out, but my opinion doesn’t mean much.
Edit: What does LA do with all those extra roster spots? The math may work for the Mavs, but what about the Lakers?
