Jazz Sign Patty Mills

This sounds very wrong and I can’t find anything about this. Can you cite your source?

Seems correct. The CBA wording has changed from 2017 version to 2023 for MLE's (see below):

Wording on Room MLE:
2023: "....use the Mid-Level Salary Exception for Room Teams to sign and/or acquire by assignment one (1) or more Player Contracts....."
2017: "the Team may at such time use the Mid-Level Salary Exception for Room Teams to sign one (1) or more Player Contracts"

The wording on Non-Taxpayer MLE:
2023: "A Team may use the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Salary Exception to sign and/or acquire by assignment one (1) or more Player Contracts during each Salary Cap Year......"
2017: "A Team may use the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Salary Exception to sign one (1) or more Player Contracts during each Salary Cap Year"

The wording on Taxpayer MLE is still the same:
2023: "A Team may use the Taxpayer Mid-Level Salary Exception to sign one (1) or more Player Contracts during each Salary Cap Year"
2017: "A Team may use the Taxpayer Mid-Level Salary Exception to sign one (1) or more Player Contracts during each Salary Cap Year"

Locke had a really good episode on the teams that are above the tax about two weeks ago.

Anyone who should be looking to dump salary before the season starts?

Salary dump situation doesn’t look promising for us. Many teams with their MLE’s available, and we only have the room MLE.

Yeah. Honestly would’ve needed to do it before signing anyone other than Lauri. Unless they trade a guy like Collins/Clarkson and take back more salary, I think this is pretty much it for salary based moves this year.

Idk, maybe I'm a homer, but I still see a fairly decent roster unless you remove Sexton or Collins.

If Kessler is healthy and very slightly exceeds expectations, I think we could be .500.

Exactly two weeks since the agreement and still no signing.

 

[Coach Ellis]

They agreed to terms and used up all their cap space and roster spots. Wonder what the hold up is at this point?

The Suns waived two guys, the Wiz and Griz one each in the last week . In a couple of them it was to avoid paying the guarantee and the others were to "stretch" their salaries per the CBA.

Looks like they officially signed him yesterday.
