Chisoxfn Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) Aren't the heat $50 million under the cap? How do you get a mid level exception when you are under the cap? They haven't fully renounced bird rights on Lebron, Wade, Bosh. As long as it is those guys they bring back in, they go back fully over the cap and thus eligible for MLE. However, if the player is someone like Melo, then they would not be in that position and would not have access to the MLE (as they would be under the cap).

Bosh could easily take the Rockets money and turn the off-season on its head. Would make for a great NBA season if Melo went to Chicago, Bron to Cleveland, and Bosh to Houston. Would create a few more extremely interesting teams to watch. In theory, Melo going to Lakers would be interesting too. Both would be more interesting then Knicks and create quite a few teams who could be contending for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
