What MLE type players are left out there?

Kris Humphries, Ed Davis, Al-Farouque Aminu?, Evan Turner, Jason Smith, Jameer Nelson, Andrey Blatche, Rodney Stuckey, who else?

What teams can still use their MLE?  Who has cap room or who has a TPE that can take one of these?


I'm trying to figure out who we might be targeting.

i guess what puzzles me more is WHY ainge would be targeting any of them? none of them would seem to have a long term role on the team. as it is, the celtics have to axe at least 2 players they currently have on the roster.

but, one might argue, one of the MLE types could add as many as 4-5 victories to the celtics win column. perhaps, but that wont change that the celtics are going to be stinky next year. why eat up youngster playing time and gain empty victories that harm the team's lotto odds further?

i am happy to go into the season with lots and lots of youngsters trying to prove they belong in the nba.

Yea definitely Okafor.  I wonder how much Oden, kind of like Bynum, will get paid due to their health issues.

Why bother to use it if we are rebuilding? Stay under the Tax threshold we all know come midseason Danny will rip this team apart anyways.

I've got it.  Say the season is going better than expected haha and Danny was really hoping to tank to get a top draft pick next year (you know, because that's always worked out so well for us).  Suddenly, in a strange mid season move, Ainge signs or trades for Evan Turner (I honestly don't know if he's even going to get an offer from any team lol).  Our team chemistry would instantly be shot, there would be people calling for Stevens to be fired, and everyone would start playing like crap.  Mission accomplished ;)
