Not to nit-pik, but only teams over the salary cap get the MLE...  Teams under the salary cap do not get the MLE...  The sixers are under the cap and therefore do not get the mid-level exception...

If they did, we could be looking at over $20M in capspace which is not the case...

I believe that's all accurate except number #3...  Philly doesn't have a MLE, so they can't renounce it...  They would renounce the trade exception and combine it with their available cap space (roughly $11.5M) to have 14-15M in cap space...

Teams under the salary cap do not get the MLE...

I'm willing to take a shot at Hendrix, Gordon, or Weaver at this point...

Ok, I now officially want DeAndre Jordan.  Make it happen Ed.

Still not worth a pick...

I'd take Chalmers in a heart beat over him...  I'd also be looking at a second for Richard Hendrix, Devon Hardin, Jamont Gordon, JR Giddens, Kyle Weaver...  All of whom I'd take ahead of Jordan...

I'm happy to stick with Calvin Booth...

I wouldn't mind those other guys, but even as a back-up defensive center Jordan is worth going after.  Guys who are athletes and that big are always good off the bench as extra defenders- if even to hack Howard.  I bet a guy like Diop gets 4M.

Kyle Weaver - i know nothing but the numbers i just looked at - doesn't look like a bad 50K investment

6'6" Smart player with athleticism...  Not sure he's an uptemp guy...

WHo are the point guards left?

Chalmers is still on the board...
Kyle Weaver is highly underrated...

Wo

Hm...I'll follow up on that.  I was told it's a stress fracture.

One way or another, it's obvious teams are scared off about his health. If he didn't submit to tests then he sort of deserves to fall. Teams can't be expected to give guaranteed contracts to highly questionable players.

First pick of the 2nd round...  Once the garunteed contract is gone, Arthur is gone...

Good call TGP...You loved the guy that'll be arrested for loitering any minute
