Great. And we were busy trying to get raped to bring in Calderon at over double that salary. Good job FO. We can't offer him another mil a year?

without a trade, we cant afford to sign him. we are close to the luxury tax line. without a trade we cant sign anyone.

Mid-level exception?

That is why I think TJ Ford is the fallback option. If we can work a trade to gain some space, that will be a one year fix. (Plus I really like Collins and want him to make the team and have an opportunity to see the floor a little.)

The MLE is an exception against the cap, not the luxury tax.

Sorry, but to clarify, you're saying even though we can sign a guy to the MLE he'll still put us over the luxury tax?

If so, as I said before, I had no problem with the Diaw for D.Jones move just to get back further from the LT.
