    it's really rare for somebody to sign for a vet minimum 3 hours into the off-season, especially somebody who made 15.4M last season

    Some agency favor perhaps. We signed 4 wasserman clients to our SL team. And Norm is also repped by the same agency.

    BAE hard caps us. Unless you think Powell is leaving (a greater disaster), it can't be that.

    If it’s a 1 year deal, doesn’t that mean it HAS to be a vet min signing? I thought Mel guys had to be multiple years. I’m a shitty cap guy though

    Agreed. No way Olshey blew the TPMLE on Zeller.

    but you're agreeing with him and he's implying it was for the tax-MLE

    The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to a two-year, $9 million deal with Bobby Portis, sources confirmed to ESPN. The second year is a player option, sources said.

    so, Portis signed for 2M LESS than the tax-MLE (2 year)

    Sometimes it's more about winning than the money I guess...

    RoLo signed a 1 year 7.3M MLE last year, so no, that's BS.

    Re-sign Powell, trade CJ for a serious upgrade at forward, and you at least have a slim chance to make some noise this season. If Powell is off the table, we are worse off than we were when Denver curb-stomped us in the play-offs. Dame may be loyal - but why should he want to stay with a team that either isn't really trying or is just flat hopeless?

    Do people really believe Olshey is blameless here?
