So, I'm hearing conflicting info about this.
Can the MLE be used on a 1-year, or can it not?
If not, this has to be wrapped up in the Thompson deal somehow, right?

Value is exact MLE max value. But, MLE needs to be at least a three year deal (but years two and three could be team options). So it it really is a one year deal, than it would be part of Thompson deal or TPE created from it. Or part of some other deal
RE: FA: De'Anthony Melton to GSW | 1yr/12.8mil - SleepingHero - 07-01-2024
There are no minimum amount of years required for an MLE deal, which is what this is.
So yeah the Warriors can use their MLE for 1 year on Melton with no restrictions.
The issue is if they're trying to do other things that may push them close to the 1st apron.
RE: FA: De'Anthony Melton to GSW | 1yr/12.8mil - KillerLeft - 07-01-2024
I've got a guy on twitter confidently assuring me that the MLE can be a one-year deal.
Thanks for the clarification!

Ok, if you guys say so, than I mixed something up

I'm asking, not telling.
I used to really pride myself in trying to understand the CBA back in the db.com days, but it just keeps getting more and more complex. I still understand what I'm reading when guys like Gump and Dan (and yourself) chime in, but I gave up on trying to memorize that stuff a while back. There are always people here who've done the heavy lifting on that part.

If Melton is acquired via a SnT, then he needs to be guaranteed 3 years. Perhaps that's where the confusion was?
MLE's don't have such restrictions of he was just signed as is. For example, last year the Mavs used the remaining amount of their MLE to sign Seth Curry to a 2 year deal where the 2nd year was non-guaranteed.

I am not offended, if perhaps it sounded like that. I was convinced that is the case, a quick google search didn't really provide me anything. If you have two sources saying otherwise, I totally accept I mixed something up. I am same as you, just too much stuff to memorize everything
