Obviously we don't know exact figures, but there are not that many teams with more than MLE cap space and a fair number of names out there. At some point it becomes a long list of guys battling for MLE money. Some potential guys at that level:
Reggie Jackson
Doug McDermott
Nic Batum
Danny Green
Alex Caruso
Nerlens Noel
Serge Ibaka
Goran Dragic
Bobby Portis
Lauri Markkanen
Reggie Bullock
A few of these guys may go well over the MLE but most of them will probably be at that level. As an example, I would be perfectly happy with McDermott/Green/Caruso offseason. If JRich opts in, worst case he is one of the three, but there is also the potential to trade him for somebody you can spend up to a little over 16 for (Dinwiddie or Graham).
