The Lakers have a player payroll of $91.3 million this season and will spend an additional $21.4 million in luxury taxes if their roster remains the same on the final day of the regular season.

Their total salary bill would be $112.7 million if they make no trades or minor free-agent acquisitions. Comparatively, they spent about $86 million last season, including luxury taxes.

That figure does not include Phil Jackson's $12-million salary to coach the team.

"As long as we keep winning, I think he'll keep doing it," center Andrew Bynum said.
