The trade between the Lakers and the Pels for Anthony Davis is expected to close on July 6th, unless the deal is somehow amended. The Lakers will only have $23.7M in cap space, assuming Davis doesn't waive his trade kicker. This means the Lakers do not have cap room to pursue a max-level free agent. Even if they trade out guys like Mo Wagner and Issac Bonga, they barely have enough cap space to fill out their roster with guys who are mid-level exception-caliber players or less.
As a Wolverine I would be so happy if the Jazz took Mo Wagner. Didn’t they like him from his workout? Trade the current second rounder for Wagner and let him grow into a stretch 4/5
