Free Agency Thread **NOW OPEN**

I can’t believe they gave 30 million a year for 4 YRS for a guy who struggles to stay healthy. Even when healthy hes not a 30 million dollar player

more apt to say, we can give Ibaka what ever we want and rest to another free agent and stay under the tax.

we cannot split 20 million 3 ways.

So 10.4 Mil to Ibaka and 9.6 to MLE player and we can promise Ibaka to pay him well next year going into the tax to make up for his loss

If I was Ibaka i’d reject that 10.4 and go to the Lakers or other stronger contenders at MLE

But what do i know

We can offer Ibaka practically anything, and then use the MLE for other players. I am not sure what the total value of the MLE is this year though. It can be split among multiple players as well, I think.

We cant give ibaka anything and then use full MLE

lets say ibaka at $16 give us 4 million till tax, we wont be able to use the full mle, only the tax level MLE

Ahh I see! Thank you for the correction.

How much of a difference between the full MLE and the tax level MLE?

I would imagine that beyond retaining our own guys, the players we would be looking to sign would in their own right be under the radar, possible diamond in the rough type guys. Hence my affinity for Noel, and more so Bismack Biyombo.

full mle starts at $9.2. max 4 years, apx max is 4 yr39.7 million
tax mle is apx 5.8x max 3 years, 3yr $19ish

Thank you, friend!

So we could theoretically offer Ibaka 1/25 and then use the vet minimum/tax MLE to fill out the roster?

This is the homer in me, but the fact that it makes no sense is exactly why I love it!

lets fill you in with some knowledge.
lakers used mle already.
bkn in tax, cant give full mle, only tax level mle apx 6 million
housotn same thing in tax
portland used mle
dallas used part of mle already

clippers are only true contender.
i guess celtics now that hayward left now have room under tax.

This is the play - 1 year 25 mil to serge, 2 or 3 years for giles at 5.8 mil.
