Potential MLE Targets?

[magnifier661]

One thing nobody seems to have mentioned (or maybe I just missed it?) but we don't even know if the MLE is going to survive the lockout and the new CBA. There's a ton of talk about a hard cap and even slashing existing salaries, so until that happens it's going to be pretty hard to project just what kind of money this team will be able to spend in free agency.

Having said that, the names that jump out at me are Aaron Afflalo and JR Smith; this team desperately needs to add some shooting and speed on the perimeter and maybe I'd add Brooks to the list even though he's really not a point guard and more of just a small shooting guard

I agree with this. MLE might not even be an option after the new negotiations are in place. Although, how would players being released or just let got be able to go to another team if all teams are over cap? Are they just unemployed? I don't think a complete elimination of the rule will take place. Maybe more restriction?
