Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

For sure, but what’s the path to actually even get to that $180M salary (sportrac says $190M next year for supertax apron) with all the restrictions on acquiring players. Seems after we hit the 1st apron, the only way to add salary is vet min and resigning with early-Bird and Bird rights. In the offseason we would pretty much have to operate as a 1st apron team.

We don’t have Bird Rights for Exum, correct? Since he signed for two years. We will be able to overpay our own youngsters their second contracts relative to other teams though.
