(7) The Disabled Player Exception is available only to the Team
with which the player was under Contract at the time his Disabling
Injury or Illness became known or reasonably should have become
known. In order for a Team to apply for a Disabled Player
Exception pursuant to this Section 6(c), the Disabled Player must
continue to be on the Team’s roster from the time the Team
makes such application through the date upon which the
Exception is granted.
I wonder, does the Disabled Player Exception even remain with the team if they release Cousins? I know it expires if they trade him.
If Cousins needs to remain on the roster to keep the exception then that means the Lakers would need to cut a player, likely either Daniels or Dudley, to make use of it.
They're not going to cut Daniels or Dudley over the rookie if they need to cut someone. Both of those guys can contribute right now. The rookie can't. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

Another reason to wait. When the buyout season comes, we'll know best who is expandable in the roster. Today, I'd waive Daniels before THT, but within a few months, who knows? _________________ ....

Not quite. The full salary would count against the cap; the NBA simply pays for half the salary.
In my full post, I quoted the CBA FAQ. The relevant line is now highlighted. The CAP is based on a team's salary. If it isn't counted in a team's salary then it isn't counted against the CAP.

Melo?
He probably would want the vet min at the very least.
According to #22 at the NBA FAQ, veteran players on one year contracts only count $1,701,593 against the CAP even though their salaries are much higher.
Quote:
When a player has been in the NBA for three or more seasons, and is playing under a one-year, 10-day or Rest-of-Season contract at the minimum salary, the league reimburses the team for part of his salary -- any amount above the minimum salary for a two-year veteran. For example, the minimum salary for a two-year veteran in 2017-18 is $1,471,382, so for a ten-year veteran, with a minimum salary of $2,328,652, the league would reimburse the team $857,270. Only the two-year minimum salary is included in the team salary, not the player's full salary. They do this so teams won't shy away from signing older veterans simply because they are more expensive than younger veterans.
Still, I don't think the Lakers need Melo.

I would be surprised if they cut THT, barring a disastrous performance from him. He's Klutch, and one of the few young assets we have. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
Kinda stupid, that u need to cut a player when the reason u apply for the DPE is because ur player could not play for the year. I understand waiting mid season to sign a player over 10 yrs experience, but cutting a player to make room for that players defeat the purpose.
Can’t we have outright cut DC before the DPE and sign somebody for the vet min?

It’s being used for a trade specifically
We aren’t using it to sign a vet minimum player or to pick up someone off waivers.

There aren't too many players that we could trade for that are valuable and fit in the 1.75 DPE (or at its limits we can take back 1.85m).
I do think it'll be an amazing asset to use at buyout time (Feb 2020) when the DPE (that is not prorated) will almost be double the vet's minimum (which is prorated). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Some of this was already answered.

Injured Reserve is the former name of the Inactive List. It was originally intended for players who were injured and unable to play, however teams often used it as a convenient place to stash extra players. While a medical reason was required for players to be put on Injured Reserve, the league did not insist on an independent physician confirming the diagnosis. Thus it was common for a seemingly healthy player to suddenly develop "back spasms" right before rosters were cut to 12 players, and spend the entire season on Injured Reserve as a result. With the 1995 CBA they gave up the ghost, dropped the medical requirement, and changed the designation to "Inactive List." (The cynic will note that marginal NBA players seem to have a lot fewer back spasms nowadays.)
