News on November 26, today, according to US media reports, the NBA has rejected the Lakers' request to remove the old Roller Deng’s salary from the payroll. The Lakers must continue to pay Roller Deng $5 million annually until In 2022.
Before Jeanne Buss took charge of the Lakers, her brother Jim Buss was in charge of the Lakers club. In the offseason of 2016, due to the skyrocketing salary cap of the entire league, Deng signed a four-year deal with the Lakers for 72 million. Big contract in dollars. However, Jim Buss soon regretted it.
In 2018, the Lakers reached a buyout agreement with Rolle Deng, waived him in installments, and the remaining contract was paid in 4 years: Before the 2021-22 season, Deng was paid $5 million per season and occupied the Lakers’ salary cap. . But in fact, Rolle Deng has retired last October.
In October of this year, the Lakers have submitted an application to the league to try to remove Rolle Deng’s remaining salary from the salary cap to avoid affecting the Lakers’ signings for the new season. After all, 5 million is a mini-middle class. Last year, the Lakers signed Bradley for 2 years and 10 million. This 5 million is very important to the Lakers.
The Lakers believe that Rolle Deng meets the "end of life injury" requirement in the labor terms. In this provision, the team can remove the player’s remaining salary from the salary cap.
But today, according to The Athletic reporter Shams Charania, the Lakers' request to remove Rolle Deng's salary from the team's salary was rejected by the league. Previously, NBA salary expert Bobby Marks once analyzed and pointed out that Rolle Deng played 22 regular season games for the Timberwolves in the 2018-19 season, so it is difficult to prove that he suffered an injury that ended his career with the Lakers.
In other words, the "oil bottle" left by Jim Buss still has to be backed by Jeanne Buss and Pelinka, continuing to pay an off-record player and occupy the salary cap.
