HOW IS HE OWED $18 ****ING MILLION IN 2018!?!?!?
Christ alive, how stupid was the previous regime?
I honestly don't know how they can get rid of him. I guess if they packaged him with Randal they might find takers. Trade Deng and Randal for...nothing and then see if Clarkson, 27 and 28 is enough for George. The problem is that at that point you've just taken the last 5 years of 'patience' and set it on fire. The roster becomes Ball, George, Ingram, Nance, Lopez, Zubac and...what? They wouldn't have a shooting guard anymore. Losing Randal's strength underneath would be brutal.
Why the hell would LeBron want to come to that team? The Lakers pretty much haven't made a smart decision in a half a decade.

They can use a provision called the stretch on Deng's deal to allow them the cap room to sign two max free agents.
