It’s about the salary cap. Denver is only about $3.9M below the second apron, and a sign-and-trade would hard-cap them. They can't legally take back bigger contracts unless they clear salary first. The Lakers also aren't in a perfect spot if they want to maintain roster flexibility after a deal. Sometimes it isn't about who has the better offer... The trade just doesn't work under the current CBA 😳 #NBA #Lakers #PeytonWatson #denvernuggets #NBAFreeAgency Nd5xlii7dsy aRqHNpUGAGf tAkkAAlGQVz 5qKj3Jt6ycx tdXRqcvLB7B 0hDlg5BBwza
