Would be sweet since he's on for 5 million till 2022. Could make the deal for CP3 or others less straining for our cap space.
@mods, if this is not thread worthy it can be deleted, but it's the offseason so any news is good news I'd say

Title makes it sound like they want to hire some goons to injure him and end his career.

He played 22 games with Minny after he was cut. How can they argue he had a career ending injury with the Lakers?

He played afterwards for the Wolves though. I would understand if he never played another game after the Lakers cut him but it's kinda weird when the injury in question didn't end his career. Then again, I don't really know how this kind of stuff works so I could be wrong.

Just like all the rings Minnesota won belong to the Lakers all the games Deng played in Minnesota are also Lakers games.

Yeah this is a shot in the dark but the league won't allow it. Pistons were paying Josh Smith until a season ago.

The team can apply to have the player's salary excluded starting on the first anniversary of the player's last regular season or playoff game, and not before the one-year anniversary of the first regular season game for which the player was on the team's roster under his current contract. If the player played in fewer than 10 games in the last season in which he played, the team can apply on the one-year anniversary of the player's last regular season or playoff game, or 60 days after his last game in the current season, whichever is later.
The determination as to whether an injury or illness is career ending is made by a physician jointly selected by the league and players association, or by a Fitness to Play panel (see question number 62). The determination is based on whether the injury or illness will prevent the player from playing for the remainder of his career, or if it is severe enough that continuing to play constitutes a medically unacceptable risk.
If the injury exclusion is granted, the player's salary is removed from the team salary immediately.
If the player later "proves the doctors wrong" and resumes his career, then his salary is returned to the team salary when he plays in his 25th game1 in any one season, for any team. This allows a player to attempt to resume his career without affecting his previous team unless his comeback is ultimately successful.2 If the 25th game was a playoff game, then the player's salary is returned to the cap effective on the date of the team's last regular season game (i.e., the returned salary counts toward the luxury tax).
There are a few additional nuances to the salary exclusion:
If the player resumes his career and his salary is returned to the team salary, the team can re-apply for the salary exclusion under the same rules (including the rules for the waiting period).
If a player retires, even for medical reasons, his team does not receive a salary cap exception to acquire a replacement player.
A team can only apply for salary exclusion during the original term of a contract. If the player was waived and his salary stretched (see question number 64), the team must apply for the salary exclusion before the contract's original end date.

Maybe or the date shouldn’t be a major issues since the last season is this year and we had the COVID issue.

Re: Lakers request career ending injury application for Luol Deng, could save 5 mil per year.
Fairly sure this COVID season is messing with all the contracts all over the world.
See Messi trying to opt out as well.
Also, the thread title says it's saving the Lakers 5 mil per year.
It should really specify it saves the Lakers 5 mil in cap per year, Lakers will still be paying Deng. It just won't be on the cap if this succeeds

Just curious but I would think the cap experts working for the Lakers would have thought of all this before applying, no?
