They can fill out the team just fine with role players in the 23 to 27 mil range, but there's no effing way Kyrie or Kemba or Butler or whoever are gonna take pay cuts to fit under that range, especially if its 23 mil. A max level guy would taking a roughly 10 mil per year pay cut to fit in at that number. The 27 mil number it gets more possible but "more possible" here only means like a 2% chance or less because they'd still be passing up several millions of dollars year over year.
The way I see it, it all depends on what the player is after.
If they're only interested in money, there's no way they'd join the lakers when a handful of teams can and will offer a max
If they want a ring real bad, $27m might just be enough for somebody to consider it
