Ian...did you reset all the MLE's again? So, everyone gets $10,000,000 in MLE the last two seasons?

I'd just like to be able to plan going forward. I thought we already reset the MLE at the end of the 2013 season...which is also the beginning of the 2014 Offseason and Season in general, but now it looks like it reset again.

Thanks for any info!

Alex English & Walt Frazier, apologies for the LONG wait on a response to this. Thanks for putting together that list Alex. I've also just done a quick search through the recent signings since you posted that, as well as a quick Search scan through OSFA and FA, and only found Tayshaun Prince to add.

I used my MLE to sign Collison

Thanks Brian, he's added.

[Danny Longley]

The $2,000,000 on Tayshaun Prince should actually be assigned to me, not Detroit.

[Sam Bowie]

Raptors used the full MLE (3,5 - Boozer; 1,5 - Sessions).

Spurs used $2M to sign Hawes. $2M left.
