The Los Angeles Lakers have known for weeks that acquiring Jonathan ***** inga would require creativity.
They now appear to know what it may cost.
Speaking on the latest episode of Buha’s Block, Lakers insider Jovan Buha reported that ***** inga’s camp is seeking a contract much closer to $20 million annually than the financial framework Los Angeles had initially envisioned.
“My understanding is, again, the Lakers were comfortable at two years, $10 million a year,” Buha said. “That’s below non-taxpayer mid-level exception money. That’s a relatively team-friendly deal. Low risk on the Lakers’ side.”
According to Buha, that proposal never gained traction.
