Jackson deal done using Mid-Level Exception. Consistent with Taxpayer or Non-Taxpayer version.

Using MLE money on Jackson may speak well of Jackson, may be an asset play, or indicate the Pelicans are looking to trade for upgrades, too.

So really it could be a sign of pretty much anything. Anything at all. Keep reading guys for real.

the cap is kinda projected to stay in the low 100's so it shouldn't be much more
it'll stay that way until the tv deals run out in 2024

If Jrue was paid market value Harden has to be worth at least $50m/year.


That's what the max salary does, it gives teams a discount on star players. That's the direction the league felt it needed to go in a few decades ago when Kevin Garnett getting the first $100 million contract scared the hell out of the owners.

If Holiday was a few million less per year it'd seem fine in a word where the max players are getting $40. So he's not that overpaid.

Can confirm @ShamsCharania reporting that the Wolves and Jamal Crawford are very close to agreeing to a deal when he clears waivers.


This is possibly good for the Pels from the standpoint that I haven't heard anything about CJ Miles since the TWolves and a mystery team were looking at S&Ts for him.

Harden will 30 when that contract starts... yikes

Almost every player I've looked drops off dramatically after 32

2/$8.9 for Crawford

Hope this means we have a shot at Miles although the news today that the Nets are interested in him is a little concerning as they'll probably offer him around $10m unless they do decide to make a run at KCP

Is Frank Jackson even going to play this year?

Probably not. 1 and done PG's almost never contribute their rookie season.

The MLE allowed them to sign him to an extra year from what I understand. So we get him on a 3 year contract, instead of a 2 year one. The third year is partially guaranteed. By adding the extra year they get full Bird Rights.

So basically, if he is good, we get a bargain and negotiating power. If he's bad, we can move on as normal.

I think this shows they really believe in Jackson. like the fact this is a guy Jrue and Gentry personally scouted. (Jrue played pickup with the Duke guys when he was in Durham with his wife.) Seems like they have a lot more info than usual.

Doesn't he have a stress fracture? I thought I heard that the other day.
