Both the Lakers and Nets are among the top five teams in player payroll this season. Both are also subject to a hefty luxury tax for having repeatedly gone over the threshold the last few years. That’s why the Nets, league sources said, also hope to move long-range shooter Joe Harris, who is set to make $18 million this year and $19 million next season. The Lakers adding Patrick Beverley and his expiring $13 million salary to a Westbrook-Davis deal would satisfy salary-cap trade requirements, but it would bring the deal to nearly $200 million in contracts being moved, easily a league record for a single trade.

Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton have come up big for Brooklyn. Sean Marks’ ability to find overlooked talent has been his best trait:
Caris LeVert (20th pick)
Jarrett Allen (22nd pick)
Joe Harris (G-League)
Spencer Dinwiddie (G-League)
Cam Thomas (27th pick)
Nic Claxton (31st pick) – 11:56 AM

More on this storyline

A source close to the situation told The Post that Nash was “technically the coach,” but that no matter what game plan he gave the Nets, “they did whatever they wanted.”  Irving was not the only culprit. There were rampant busted coverages, including Ben Simmons letting a screener slip to the basket thinking Royce O’Neale would take him, though he didn’t. There was Kevin Durant fussing at Joe Harris after a made basket because he felt a pass should’ve come his way. Example after example of disarray.  “They were the most dysfunctional team I’ve seen [in years],” another scout told The Post. -via New York Post / November 9, 2022
Erik Slater: Nets upgraded Ben Simmons to Questionable for tomorrow’s game in Dallas. Joe Harris and Seth Curry not on the injury report, both are expected to play. -via Twitter @erikslater_ / November 6, 2022
