The Lakers find themselves with an open roster spot and the ability to sign a buyout player after trading for Mark Williams. Historically, they've been active in the buyout market, though the new CBA restricts teams over the first apron from signing players whose past contracts exceed the non-taxpayer mid-level exception of $12.8 million. This could impact their ability to sign targets like Dennis Schröder or Bruce Brown. With the Lakers currently $6.9 million over the apron, they may need to shed contracts to pursue available players.
The Lakers have been consistently active in the buyout market, aiming to strengthen their roster through strategic signings.
