Lakers don't care about salary cap, imho. It is all about win now. Their problem is they can't sign new players (no cap space) or use MLE because of hard cap. That is why they can't allow to let their FA leave for nothing, as they have no way to replace them. Trade is the only way for them. They also don't need cheap rookies that can't play (yet). They are looking for win now ready vets, and JRich would be perfect for them.
