On the flip side, they will have plenty of cap space (like 50+ mil) and a Luka in his prime and they are the Lakers.
Now 2026 FA class isn't crazy, but that kind of space means the Lakers are prime to be a good trade candidate.
It can easily go either way. The Lakers even with a locked up Luka can look so bare of talent that they are barely a .500 team, OR they get rid of Lebron, trade Reaves and get a solid SG, and trade for a star using their space and look lethal for the next couple of years with Luka in his prime.
What I just don't understand why Luka is signing a 4 year deal instead of a 2+1 deal.
