that's a tough call, i'd say :

1- LLE goes for dermarr,
2- split the MLE between doleac and chris andersen.
3- Get webber through trade
(4- stop playing fantasy )

as far as i know, you can't split the MLE to get 2 players...you can only choose to use a portion of the MLE to sign 1 player if you choose, but then you lose the rest of it.

& i would sign DerMarr for the LLE over Doleac IF they get a true C via trade or the MLE...if not & they are shorthanded in the frontcourt, i guess signing Doleac wouldn't be a bad choice either, but i prefer to have someone w/some upside to their game rather than someone who i basically know will always only be a role player for this team.

No, you can split the MLE. Several teams did it last year. You have the entire MLE to use. It's a $5 million exception to the cap that every team can use all of (provided they are over the cap). So the Mid Level Exception is not the name of the contract, but the name of the money available.

Hmmm. In that case we can try to go for quantity over quality with the MLE. How much of the MLE would Stephen Jackson require?

i think Jackson would be expecting at least a full MLE annual figure...maybe not for a full 6 year term, but definitely for at least the 5.1 mill or whatever the final figure is.

One team that split the exception was our very own Knicks. Deke and Lampe shared it.

Yes, you can split the MLE.

There have been years we don't use it at all.

That shows how incompetent Layden was. Since we're way over the cap, I'm sure Isiah's going to use every penny available from the MLE and LLE each year
