At the moment, the Lakers have nine players under contract for a
total of $81.6 million, which includes Metta World Peace, but only the
39-year-old Nash will be under contract after next season.
By that time, players like as LeBron
James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Zach Randolph could all be
free agents.
16-times NBA champions have lined up former Clippers centre
Chris Kaman on a one-year deal to help fill the gap left by Howard's departure.
Given the addition of Kaman will soak up
virtually all of the Lakers' "mini" mid-level salary exception,
speculation has heightened that former defensive player of the year Metta World
Peace will likely released by the franchise.
Personally I'd keep Metta and make a run with the unit we have
and just add a few pieces ," tweeted Lakers All-Star Kobe Bryant, a
five-time NBA champion.
"No game 7 win without Metta! This
is a tough day for laker nation."
