I suppose early bird would prevent us from having to stay under the tax to fit him in MLE, but it sounds like we are in trouble if he is worth more than that.
I believe they have to stay under the tax line in order to use the full MLE, right? If they get to the 1st apron they would have to use the tax MLE which might not be enough.
While I'm sure these issues are a headache for Nico, they're a good problem to have. We got ourselves two good 'uns when we didn't have room to add players who would have been more expensive and wouldn't have ended up fitting as well as Exum and DJJ do.
