Mid-Level targets

[cow]

With some of the dollar amounts being tossed around, our MLE isn’t worth anything. 

Underrated point.  My thinking vs reality:

-Jingles would be a good VM or BAE signing for our second unit.  Orlando pays him 11M per for 2 years.
-Bruce Brown would be a great use of our MLE. Pacers give him in effect a 1-year deal for 24M (TWENTY-FOUR MILLION).
-I don't love Brooks but maybe he's a distressed asset you can get on a 1+1 sweetheart deal to help rehab his career.  Houston pays him 20M per for 4 years.
-Is Houston really going to pay 35-year old Brook Lopez north of 20M to steal him away from the Bucks?  Bucks sign him for 24M for 2 years.

Williams and Thybulle might still be in play as RFAs, but for the money going around their respective teams should just match any MLE offers for them and flip them later for assets.
