If we sent Howard to the Hawks can they give us Teague in return? If at all possible I want Teague and Williams. Truth be told I read the new CBA but wont sit here and act as if I fully understand it

I think Atlanta can sign Dwight outright

That would be a somewhat ideal situation if we cannot resign Dwight. Although it would look weird...

Lakers S&T Dwight Howard for...Jeff Teague + Marvin Williams.

I thought we can't s&t?

We can't receive players in S&T, we can send players out in S&T as long as they go to a team that will be below the luxury tax apron after the trade is completed.

@XtotheDeezy I think he meant Lou Williams, since Marvin has been playing for Utah for a while now.

I believe the tax threshold is around 75m...
Which from my understanding means if we amnestied MWP, we'd potentially be under the threshold and might be able to receive a player in a s/t, as long as it wouldn't put us back over the threshold.

We can only receive players if it reduces our payroll and we finish under the apron. But that's virtually impossible as long as Kobe and Pau are signed.

can't receive players who are signing a new contract. lakers can still receive players who are already under contract like blake griffn. i have a feeling u might have misunderstood.
