So that means the lakers just shedded that salary right? Dallas used the Tpe from the Chandler trade is what i saw on GB.

No way the Lakers pull out of the CP3 race unless they're getting Dwight. Unless Stern told them something specifically.

They could have shedded Odom regardless. He had a team option after this season.

lakers pulled out to pursue dwight. deal looks like the following now: pau/bynum for howard/hedo - lakers will now use their amnesty on either walton or world peace then go after another big man with the TPE they just received from DAL. ORLANDO will now pursue CP3+Ariza for Pau+Jameer+Ryan Anderson thus making a team of CP3+Bynum. then NO will flip Pau to HOU for Scola and Martin. THEN HOU will attempt to sign Nene to pair with Pau. SOMEHOW... EVERYONE ENDS UP HAPPY.

Pau/Bynum for D12

TPE to take Hedo

Then we flip Pau+Jameer+W/E else for CP3

Lakers will get draft considerations from the Mavs, ie the worst pick in the draft.

OK, so LA shed 8.9 mil. Have they signed anyone else so far or are they at 82 mil in salary?

The Lakers will trade Lamar Odom to the Mavs for a trade exception according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com.
Wonder how much that TPE is for.
