Yes but if that happens then Lakers only have 27m to throw at Kyrie where his max is 32k.
No, you sign your max FA first, then operate as an above the cap team.
You only need to wait 1 month after signing your draft pick to trade him
How do you operate as an above the cap team if you renounce everyone in order to sign the max FA?

That's a tough month though plus you have to get Kyrie to sign without guaranteeing that AD will be there.

You sign other FAs with exceptions after you sign max FA

Teams agree the main framework of trades all the time.

Once you cap yourself out, you start operating as an above the cap team.
Not rocket surgery

They do but a month seems long and we have seen it fall apart before.
The one problem with the #4 pick though is that it means Lakers can't give Kyrie the max, they will be $750k short of it. Not sure if it makes a difference but if it does it might be worth trading the pick down.

Don't trade the pick but draft #4 who was a gift.
Keep the gift and get another Superstar.
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team

Which leaves a gaping hole in the lineup. Better to just forget AD and go with the team as is plus max FA and #4. Maybe trade for AD at the deadline after the roster is filled out.

Just promise to do him a 1+1 and re-up him to the max 30% in 2020/21 if he's that picky

The #4 pick loses a lot of value once a player is drafted. That would be the difference between trading now and at the deadline. Filling the other roster spots with minimum salary players while having LBJ, Irving, and AD is better than rolling the dice that AD will be available later by the Pelicans or just losing out to another team trading for him.
The Rambii & Pelinka should be aggressive this summer.

Los Angeles Lakers Get: Bradley Beal, No. 9 pick
Washington Wizards Get: Brandon Ingram, No. 4 pick
If the Lakers don't think they're going to get Davis—whether because New Orleans takes him off the block or because it's clear someone else has the best offer—they should pivot to adding veteran firepower around LeBron James.
For the above deal to work, the Lakers would have to include some salary filler. Let's focus on the overall structure and worry about those details later.
Bradley Beal proved he could run the show with John Wall sidelined last year, and he's precisely the kind of perimeter threat who would thrive alongside James. A career 38.4 percent three-point shooter, Beal would offer high-volume, high-efficiency offense, and it doesn't hurt that he's spent most of his career as a second option.
