Worst scenario for Lakers
AD declines to waive trade kicker -> 23M cap space left (No max free agent can be signed)
10M starting PG/SG, 13M starting PG/SG, 1 mid-level exception player
2019-2020
PG, SG, LBJ, Kuzma, AD
Weak bench
LBJ faces injury (like Kobe)
Lakers cannot make the playoff / 1 round exit
AD leaves Lakers despite his commitment (like Kyrie left Celtics)
nba draft
2020 late first round pick (Lakers)
2021 first round pick (9-30 -> Lakers) (top 8 protected for pelicans) (If it does not convey, 2022 unprotected pick to Pelicans)
2022 first round pick (high possibility -> Pelicans)
2023 first round pick (pick swap with Pelicans) (Higher pick to Pelicans)
2024 first round pick (good pick -> Pelicans, bad pick -> Lakers) (If Pelicans do not want the pick, 2025 Lakers first round pick to Pelicans)
2025 first round pick (Pelicans can have the chance to get the pick)
