IF Dallas made a deal with Detroit that got them far enough under the apron to use the full MLE, who is the best player out there that is MLE realistic who also projects to make more than the TP-MLE.
I'll throw out TJ Warren as a possibility...
The 2020 version was pretty good. Plays both forward spots. But, he probably isn't getting more than the MLE from a cap room team. Is Indy paying him more than the MLE? Also, If Rick really does like Powell, it wouldn't have to be a MLE signing. We are now close enough to the Apron that we can probably send out Powell for a S&T Warren for just under Powell's money (so taking back less than we send) and end up below the apron.
