re: The non tax payer MLE this year is $12.89 million.

His games doesn't age well at all for Willie Green and this team.. If we're going to pay someone starting caliber money, they need to be able to close games with the starting 5. JV's minutes has been reduced every season since he's been here. You can bet your arse Green will look for more reasons to reduce his minutes if we retain him.

He's a quality player for someone. It's just not going to be with the Pelicans especially at that salary and Green as the coach.
