    Yeah, that's underselling. Something is up.

    This probably means Lin only fans are gone in a few days.

    This means one of the superstars is in the bag or we have a trade for Love and they wanted more picks.

    Doesn't this mean we lose the MLE since we went below the cap? Or is there a different cut off point for the MLE?
