But going into training camp with the exact same roster is pretty disappointing and a lack of a plan.

First of all, saying I read Fletch or comparing me to him is a seriously low blow. I demand an apology.
I know it's still way early, and I've said several times we need to be patient and see wha players falls through the cracks. But using part of the MLE on DC is a massive red flag to me.
I've said again and again almost nothing was more important to me than getting SOME wing help this offseason. Rolling with QPon, Babbitt, DC as your wings is just not acceptable.
We may not have a choice, but I can still be disappointed and critical about.
You know it is possible to be rational and critical and not be Padillac, but still not sniff all the FOs farts and say "smells delicious".

Who besides Gerald Green is still out there that you'd want to spend the full MLE on? Regarding Green, 1) we don't know that he will be available for the MLE the way contracts have gone, and 2) if he is he's probably getting 3-4 years, which I personally don't mind but might not be part of the plan if 2016 flexibility is a goal.

I don't mind splitting up the MLE. I just didn't want one of the guys to be DC.

Corey Brewer is about the only other name.

Brewer's probably going to cost more than the MLE, he's still talking to teams with cap space.

RoLo just got 4 yr/54 mil from the Knicks

I do get the reason for using the BAE next year though. We might have less to work with and could be going into the tax. To get a bench vet looking to get on an up and coming team, we may need it.
I can still be a bit disappointed that we aren't using everything at our disposal to get better now.
I was really hoping to add some useful, diverse, and versatile bench help.
There's still time, but it is what it is. I'll wait for it to play out.

Rolo getting 4 years 54 million makes me feel pretty good about Asik's contract

I still think ryno gets moved or we use douglas's contract somehow.

I'd be more upset at multiple years for Cunningham than giving him $2 million.
I'm not sure the sub MLE scraps are worth getting upset over though. These are the cheap but non minimum wings left from MMs FA target list:
Alan Anderson
Will Barton
KJ McDaniels
Marcus Thornton
Gary Neal
ETA: I get your complaint now you wanted DC + 2 from the list above. Look again at the list. meh.

Lmao you couldn't be more wrong

I understand your point. I'll wait patiently but I won't be thrilled with going into the season with QPon/DC as our SF depth.

I think he has really high upside and would be a good player to get and if we could split it up and get two of those guys that would be even better.

Remember last offseason? The "wish" list was just as bad: Richard Jefferson, Alan Anderson, Danny Granger, Jordan Hamilton, and Shawn Marion. The Hornicans and wing players are like the post Dome Patrol Saints and linebackers.

I've kind of assumed they are rolling with what they have, for the most part, going into the season. Doesn't bother me that much. Let's see how they do. But the moves may come during the season before the deadline.

Washington uses its bi-annual exception on Neal, holding onto its full mid-level exception to offer West.
Posted on 7/3/15 at 2:36 pm to TigerinATL
So we're assuming that West would be cool with the MLE?
He also says in the article that he wants to not just make the playoffs but contend for the title.
