Id Love to get Dragic back on the team, I think he would fit in with the group and be a great vet mentor. Unfortunately anything outside of a two contract the would go over the second Apron, Dragics minimum because of the years played, would tilt over the second Apron immediately.
Incorrect.

For example, the minimum salary for a two-year veteran in 2017-18 is $1,471,382, so for a ten-year veteran, with a minimum salary of $2,328,652, the league would reimburse the team $857,270. Only the two-year minimum salary is included in the team salary, not the player's full salary. They do this so teams won't shy away from signing older veterans simply because they are more expensive than younger veterans.
