Total Player Salary for 2012-13: $100,866,168

With the luxury tax threshold set at $70,300,000 for the upcoming season, the Lakers are looking at a ridiculous payment of $30,566,168, thanks to the $1 tax for every dollar over the threshold. 

*Metta World Peace's contract has an early termination option for the 2013-14 season. 

**Jodie Meeks has a club option for the 2013-14 season. 

***The 15th spot on the Lakers roster will be decided during training camp. Reeves Nelson and Greg Somogyi have both signed non-guaranteed contracts at the given salary. Darius Johnson-Odom and Robert Sacre have both signed contracts with undisclosed terms, but they likely fall right in line with the other two.

****Mike Brown's contract has a team option for the 2014-15 season.
