What type of player can you get with the taxpayer MLE?
That's the question. Last season the TMLE-range signings were Gallo, Otto Porter, Joe Ingles, Lonnie Walker, Donte Divincenzo, Dewayne Dedmon, Danuel House Jr., Javale McGee, Ricky Rubio and several guys below that salary range. (Note: not all of these guys were signed using the TMLE, but were in that average annual value).
The year before, Dennis Schroder, Torey Craig, Robin Lopez, Kendrick Nunn, Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, Jared Vanderbilt, Nic Batum
But obviously, it's a wide range. Targets this year?

Not all of those guys will be available, but some could be.
