Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer reports the Lakers are shopping Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht as they sit at 16 contracts, one over the limit.
Knecht remains on his rookie deal but has lost playing time, while Vanderbilt has two years left on his $48 million contract. Los Angeles is also seeking wing depth after missing out on Jonathan Kuminga, who signed with Minnesota.
Jarred Vanderbilt remains on the Lakers roster, and ClutchPoints' David Yapkowitz reports the team has continued trying to move him. Signings of Ziaire Williams and Matisse Thybulle squeeze his spot in the rotation.
The Lakers need to shed one roster spot before mid-October, and Lakers insider Khobi Price says a 2-for-1 trade involving two of Jaden Hardy, Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt is their likeliest path.
The Lakers sit at 16 guaranteed contracts, one over the league's regular-season limit, after signing Matisse Thybulle in late July. Jaden Hardy, Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt are seen as the likeliest players to be moved or waived before camp.
