The Lakers still have the means to give Markieff Morris $2.8 mil which amounts to a 120% of last year's salary (not really because he as a $1.5 mil DPE signing but that's how it computes) – they'd be hard capped – with BAE to Wes Matthews

Assuming full MLE to Trez – which puts the Lakers with 4 min players, Markieff and KCP at $10 mil – and JaVale – at $138,62,893 for tax purposes – $275,107 under the line. Roughly

Definitely need Markieff back.
PG: SCHRODER, Caruso
SG: MATTHEWS, KCP, THT
SF: LEBRON, Kuzma
PF: HARRELL, Morris, Dudley
CE: DAVIS, McGee
Lakers clearly upgraded the roster.
A trade for Ibaka would be the cherry on the sundae.
