Some reports now that the Mozgov deal is actually 3/$48 with a team option. That's actually pretty palatable, then.
The Lakers don't have anyone up next year so it won't interfere with their 2017/18 salary structure and in the third year, you could always move that deal to a team as an expiring (with them declining the 4th year option).
And if the cap keeps going up 20%/yr, even the team option might be palatable.
Still not a good player, but the deal appears to not be quite the albatross it looked at at first glance, especially not with Parsons getting the max and rumors are that even Bazemore is looking at a deal at/near the max.
Bottom line is that NBA contracts are going to be ****ing nuts this year - period.
