Way too early to be looking towards 2021. Back in 2017 did anyone foresee AD being on the trade market or PG being on the trade market last summer?
Just be glad we will have options in 2021 instead of over-committing ourselves to bad contracts like a lot of other teams did this summer. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Its the GM's job to plan a path years in advance. Its obvious Lakers are trying for max agent again in '21 with Giannis as top. If not, bradley might be secondary. _________________ The journey to 17 begins... |

It is hard to see the Lakers having max cap-room in 2021 unless Lebron takes a major pay-cut (he would need to opt-out) and we do not plan on keeping Kuzma.
Deng's $5m is also still on the book. |

But why not? We didn't get Kawhai, and all these contracts are 1 and 2 yr deals. They come off the books. Granted, I don't follow cap rules. So I dunno. |

I'm talking about us as fans. Predicting a bleak future based on list of possible FA targets two years from now is just dumb but if you want to go ahead and start your hand-wringing early be my guest. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Unless there is a massive jump in the salary cap, you'd have AD at ~$38m, Lebron at $41m, Kuzma roster hold at $9m, Deng at $5m, roster holds at about $14m.
2020 salary cap is projected at be at $118. Let's just speculate that 2021 is at $127.
Lakers would need $38m in space to sign a max player. Lebron would need to take a pay-cut to ~$20m a year for the Lakers to have max space. |

Bron and AD would be at $79 mil then. Deng, makes it $84. Everybody is off the books, renounce Kuz?
Better yet, trade Lebron. Hehe. |

You still have roster holds that go up with the cap.
So 11 roster holds at slightly over $1m.
So $95m. That Deng $5m will continue to bring pain.
It all depends on if Lebron wants to take a major pay-cut. |
