Yahoo News Los Angeles Lakers salaries IN-DEPTH
The Los Angeles Lakers were one of the bigger spenders over the last few seasons to maximize their window around LeBron James and Anthony Davis. After three consecutive seasons in the luxury tax where they spent a combined $85 million, they decided to keep costs controlled in 2023-24. They couldn’t spend much more money if they wanted to since they’re now hard-capped to the $172.3 million first apron. They are slightly over the tax at the moment, but they could easily get below with a mid-season salary dump.
