The Lakers don’t have the cap space or a trade exception large enough to swallow Hedo Turkoglu’s remaining three years and $34 million, so taking the Gasol & Bynum pair off the table means that the Lakers will likely have to involve a third team to strike a deal with Orlando.

The Nets currently have a standing offer of Brook Lopez and two first-round draft picks, and are reportedly working to include a third team in the deal.
