What happened
With opening night Tuesday approaching, the Lakers, Grizzlies and Bucks each have more guaranteed contracts than the league’s 15-man limit and are weighing trades or waivers, according to Jake Fischer.
Los Angeles is still seeking a 2-for-1 deal, while Memphis and Milwaukee may trim multiple players; Fischer named Dalton Knecht, Kris Murray, Micah Peavy, Pete Nance and Caris LeVert as possible roster casualties.
A trade could change Los Angeles’ wing depth if Vanderbilt or Knecht is moved, but nothing is finalized yet. Memphis and Milwaukee still have to clear roster spots before opening night.
