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

Lakers need to trade McGee and not re-sign Bradley to use full MLE

Looking like we resign KCP, Howard, Bradley, and Morris and that’s it. Unless we trade Kuzma and McGee and S&T KCP.
Lakers need a starting center more than they need Bradley or Howard. Pass on Bradley and sign Baynes and Morris.
