For DLo you have to look at more than just teams with cap space. You have to look at teams with someone under contract for around the same amount that DLo might be signed for and that they feel like they might lose.
Kind of how DLo got paid last time. The warriors didn’t have cap space, but they were going to lose Durant so they agreed to the Dlo sign n trade instead of losing KD for nothing. Gotta find a team out there that might want to get something (DLo) for a player they may feel like they won’t be able to keep. That player gotta be someone the lakers would want.
