So if I'm understanding the new CBA correctly, the Cavs will NOT have the full MLE available to them this offseason. They will be able to use the taxpayer MLE, which is about $2 mil less.

Hope Dan is willing to pay to keep everyone and use Haywood to find James a backup. Giving Andy that early extension was a big mistake.
Hmmm how will that work?Andy's extension was about two things. One of those things was setting up "the Haywood contract #2".
Hmmm how will that work?
Andy will decide after two years that he's essentially done playing, will be traded for the value in his unguaranteed third year, and then get cut by the team that trades for him?
As harsh of a business as the NBA is, it seems like Andy is going to retire here, whether in 1 year or 4 years.
But maybe I'm underestimating LeBron's willingness for being cool with them shipping Andy off for assets when that contract ripens(prior to the ungauranteed 3rd year)
Can't we just resign everyone due to bird rights? I think JR opts in, Kevin Love opts in/gets a new max contract, Tristan gets paid like he deserves, and so does Shumpert while Dan Gilbert laughs his way to the bank with how much money he's making outside of basketball.
I really don't think we lose anybody. We should even be able to add better depth with Haywood's contract, our first round draft pick, and the taxpayer's MLE of around 3.3 mil/year.

That's either wishful thinking or great foresight. I'm not seeing how the two contracts are comparable, care to elaborate?
If I'm not mistaken don't we have the Clipper second round pick that was top 55 protected, I think that pick is 57...... The Denver trade ? .........
