There is a huge misconception going around about the Lakers cap situation, They will be signing a Max Free Agent on July 1st, then Call the Pelicans and make the AD trade official on July 6th.
Right now we have 32 mil to sign the Free Agent straight outright on July 1st
In order to match ADs salary for the July 6th Official Trade we need to get rid of Bonga, Mo, and JJ by July 6th, if we cant make that happen we sign DeAndre Hunter and that forces a 30 day wait period, making the trade date July 30th.
This exact situation happened with Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love, Andrew even played Summer League for Cavs, David Griffon was behind the trade too, Everything is good in Laker Land.
My guess is Hawks will take on Mo, Bonga, and JJ for $ and 2nd rounder,
