Do we still have our full MLE? BAE?

Capolagists I need you.

I'm reasonably sure we still have full MLE.

Would the Bulls match if we offered full MLE to Markkanen?

If Demar really does strike out in free agency...let's just bring him home and have him come off the bench for the MLE. :lol:

Yes we have the MLE unless the raptors gave it all to Dekker (lol)

I have to hope we signed Dekker to a vet min and have both MLE/BAE to use.

If we blew even the BAE on Dekker, that's sooooo Raptors basketball :lol:

Dekker may be a pleasant surprise and it’s probably a vet min deal, so I have no qualms there. If he’s getting more than the vet min, it’s probably a BAE deal which is also pretty harmless from a financial standpoint.

This doesn’t give us any idea on our direction but it probably does mean that Watson is gone.

Split the MLE between Birch and Monk.

Fred Vanvleet / Malachi Flynn
Malik Monk/ Goran Dragic
OG Anunoby / Gary Trent Jr.
Pascal Siakam / Scottie Barnes
Khem Birch / Boucher/ Precious

That's the tax-payers mid-level exeption. 9.5 millions is NON-tax-payers midlevel.

They played themselves. How the hell do you agree to a sign-and-trade without finding a home for Dragic first?

It seems likely that the delay in any announcement from the teams about Lowry is finding a home for Dragic. As more free agents come off the board a potential destination for Dragic will become clearer and clearer.

Just bring in Khem Birch and Malik Monk and you still have a solid roster. Dragic is actually still a useful player

They probably have pick compensation in the deal that depends on whether he can be moved. Like a second round pick becomes a first round pick if he can’t be sent to a third team.

I dont care about FA this offseason as it is another tank year, but they definitely cant keep Dragic and should definitely not keep Siakam as they will just hurt the lottery chances. Actually they should just have let Lowry walk, S&T could have hurt us.
