    Yeah, an RFA taking a while to sign is a completely understandable and different thing than us taking this much time on our supposed number one priority.

    What teams have the full MLE?

    There's a ton of guys who are going to get the TP MLE and minimum who can be good this year.

    The problem is that good role players have come off the board that we could have been pursuing with the taxpayer MLE. I obviously might be overreacting but if Dame is paying attention to this... it's again the opposite of a sense of urgency.

    thing is, I could actually see NO doing this. Like, " I had to fly to LA to save the day and bring Norm back with me. Look at me now."

    like whom?

    Torey Craig and Jeff Green?

    no thank you.

    Batum is still on the board. Zeller is still on the board. Richaun Holmes and Avery Bradley are still on the board. etc etc. There's still like 60+ players who will be on NBA teams this next season, of which 30+ might be legit contributors, and the money is drying up.

    Gary off the board for 2M more over the life of the deal than the extension we offered him. Interesting.
