MLE? 

Post#1 » by Rod700 » Thu Aug 20, 2009 8:43 pm

Sorry guys, but I lost track of who we re-signed with Bird rights, etc. and if we used any of the MLE yet. What do we have left of the MLE? Thanks guys.

It's hard to be sure because all contract details aren't released, but I don't believe we used the MLE at all. We had bird rights for Zaza, Marvin, and Bibby. Crawford was a trade acquisition. Teague is a rookie deal. Joe Smith was veteran minimum. Flip and David Andersen were the players likely to require the MLE and neither were signed. At this point it is unlikely that the MLE get used at all because the more important number is the luxury tax threshold and the worthwhile recipients are already gone. The remaining players being discussed for the roster all seem like veteran minimum deal candidates (West, Hunter, Petro, Collins) or rookie minimums (Siler). Not sure if a 3rd PG is being scoped but again I think we're talking veteran minimum.
