Los Angeles Lakers
2018-19When several roster decisions share a planning window, where do basketball, roster, reported salary, cap, trade, exception and draft constraints overlap?
LAL has 1 multi-player planning windows and 8 fully enumerated conditional branch combinations. Overlap counts identify review pressure, not preferred outcomes.
Josh Hart + Kyle Kuzma + Lonzo Ball
A planning window — decisions sharing a staff planning date, never a claimed simultaneous deadline.LAL has 3 actionable player decisions sharing the 2019-07-03 planning anchor. All 8 bounded branch combinations are enumerated for stress testing, but the anchor is not claimed as an exact simultaneous contract deadline.

What the scenarios cannot prove
Where the constraint lanes refuse a conclusion across these scenarios.Shared planning anchors are staff workflow dates, not automatically exact simultaneous contract deadlines.
All bounded branch combinations are enumerated; none is assigned a probability or recommendation.
Player-specific possessions and ratings are not summed across players.
Only directly reported option salary is added across decisions.
Every scenario needs a new dated cap, roster, trade and CBA execution test.
Prior exception receipts are reference evidence, not the scenario wallet.
Scenario branches do not alter pick ownership or prove tradability.
Team-season counts summarize conditional branch-space coverage. They are not probabilities, rankings, cap projections, legal opinions or front-office grades.
