To use the TPE to sign one of those guys it would have to be a S&T right? There are so many options now. We could take back more salary in trades for guys like Gafford/Klay/PJ and still have the full MLE.
Yes, and you´d likely have to send out a minor asset to the Bulls. Money? Suns 2nd round pick? The TPE is pretty useful since it protects the Mavs from severely overpaying Sexton/Simons, but also gives them this edge over the pure MLE teams.
