I think the MLE will become a standard price level or barrier for contracts, because so few teams will be able to offer more with the way spending is working. Smart teams then aim to build rosters with players worth more than that, but salary slotted at or below that number. An added benefit is the ability to have teams with big MLE now able to use that rather than salary match, if you ever want to trade them.
I see Gaff extending at something like 3/ 40 or so.
But that's where he is today. Last season was ~$13.4M and next season is ~$14.4M. Why agree to extend at the same salary level?
