The $3-$7 million range is tough territory to operate in as that's right in the MLE wheelhouse and the really good MLE guys would likely sign on with teams like the Heat, Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, Celtics for the rings.
Did You Know: Teams over the luxury tax threshold don't get to spend the full MLE!
So ring chasers (who are usually 10-year veterans who have made plenty of money in the NBA) will have to sacrifice money...
IMO a young guy (let's say 22-26) who has never made HUGE money in the league would be more inclined to take a $6 million per season contract for the next 4 years...
when that contract was over the young guy would be 30 years old or less... he'd then go chase rings
