Yeah but we have seen teams make room when they need to for star level and superstar level talent.

From what I can tell and going by cap estimates, only way they could give Kyrie a max contract is if Beasley opts out.

Would depend if a team with cap allowed lakers to send Beasley to them for air then, but that kinda stuff happens all the time from what I can remember in the past. Namely I recall nobody thinking Durant could go to Warriors till they traded away David Lee and stuff for cap space.

It might be moot, the NBA has to negotiate a new CBA between now and then where they can change the rules and change max contracts etc... anything can be changed. So all we can do is wait and see.
