Lakers ability to use their full MLE and pay a reasonable salary for KCP and pay Wes Matthews BAE is not really workable under a hard cap – trading away McGee would help that. That's with Markieff, Howard back via NB rights at near $3 mil in theory

The $ number reported (I believe by @ShamsCharania forgive me if I got that wrong) for Wes Matthews is BAE money – that doesn't mean they are using BAE, could be part of taxpayer MLE – but if it is BAE< Lakers would be hard-capped at ~$139 mil

Can confirm reports that free agent guard Wes Matthews plans to sign with the Lakers, the bi-annual for one year at $3.6 million.

For Wes Matthews, being able to step directly into a starting role with the Lakers created by the Danny Green trade to OKC was too good to pass up, per source. One instance where the compressed end of season/draft/FA period/start of next season probably didn’t help Milwaukee.
