IND-UTA-MIN-MIA

[casey]

They didn't need to renounce their MLE, for example, to sign Bosh, Wade and LeBron, since they didn't take max deals.

You don't get the MLE if you're that far under the cap.

Yes, Miami was given MLE and TPE (Beasley) but those count against the cap and had to be renounced to sign players.

So next year MLE for Miami. But yes, basically you cannot use MLE if you have more than MLE in free cap space, because MLE will count against cap. Same for TPE, will also count against cap.
