- [Madden] Early Bird deals can’t have 2nd year options, which would mean Bucks might have backed themselves into using part of the MLE on Connaughton which would of course be a REALLY bad move (and worse than giving an option in first place) https://twitter.com/fmaddennba/status/1330165855313924101 66 comments nba

- [Aaronson] "This does not impact a Paul George contract. The Sixers are seemingly signing Oubre to the room MLE, which means it does not eat into their cap space. They simply have to use the cap space first and then sign Oubre afterwards. Still very capable of signing George to his max deal." https://x.com/SixersAdam/status/1807655101869310284?s=19&t=UmdraD0veaMRihtiSe9IxA 86 comments nba
