Famous reporter: The Lakers have more than 60 million expiration contracts available for trading, but there is only one active first round

Recently, ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks and draft expert Jeremy Woo jointly wrote an article about the Lakers' salary and draft picks. The details are as follows:

After obtaining a superstar with a trade, will the Lakers still have enough chips to make another major operation?

Even if James and Doncic's total salary in the new season is close to $100 million, the Lakers still have more than $60 million in expiration contracts to be used for transactions. But their first-round picks are severely lacking: they owe the Jazz a first-round pick protected by the first four picks in 2027, and also owe the Mavericks an unprotected first-round pick in 2029, and the only tradable first-round pick is in 2031 or 2032. They also have 5 first round swap rights available (2026, 2028, 2030, 2031 and 2032), but only one second round pick is available for trading.
