I went to the source for you, the actual CBA. From page 204 of the CBA:
http://nbpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2017-NBA-NBPA-Collective-Bargaining-Agreement.pdf
NBPA.com is the official website of the National Basketball Player's Association.
And part of the changes made by the extension of the CBA has the MLE upgraded by 45%.
http://nba.nbcsports.com/2017/01/20/detailed-summary-of-changes-under-the-nbas-new-collective-bargaining-agreement/ said:Exception Amounts. The Mid-Level Exceptions and Bi-Annual Exception for
2017-18 will be increased 45% from the amounts in the 2011 CBA. The revised amounts will increase or decrease annually beginning in 2018-19 at the same rate as the Salary Cap.
So MLE for this upcoming offseason is $8.40565 million.
The link you provided, on page 204 of the document, says $8.406, so they round it.
Your post was changed from when I read it to when I quoted it.
