You are correct, it probably is not enough of a salary for him. But I think he'd be a good backup and mentor (even considering his kind of quirkiness).
Jeff Green just signed with the Nets for the vet min. Would not have minded him for a vet min. Even for the BAE I would have been fine with it.
I suppose, but he was fine the year before, and to be honest he barely played last year because of Charlotte's youth movement. Can't imagine he was very motivated. In theory, he is a playmaker AND a wing defender. Means CJ doesn't have to play backup point but he can at least guard opposing point guards. Looks like his shot has deserted him though.
They gave 5 million of the MLE to Pat and 4 million to Portis. Doesn't it seem like Milwauke is just doubling down on their bad decisions? Like "oh hey, we meant to do that, actually, we meant to do that EVEN MORE!"

I'd be surprised if Neil cared much about being over the tax at the moment. There are always ways to get under at the deadline if so inclined.
