There's also a lot of talk that the Jazz are open to a sign and trade for Hayward, sending Crowder back to the Jazz.

If we are looking for a free agent Center, Dewayne Dedmon would be nice. Price might be too steep for us, but let's see. I say sign him to a 1-year deal so he can further increase his stock, and try again next season for a big pay day.

From the Herald:
The Celtics continue to look for ways to clear space for Hayward, and also to find a rebounding big man. ESPN reported that the team has talked with New York about a possible Marcus Smart/Willie Hernangomez deal.

Saw a report that Jamal Crawford will get a buyout after being traded from the Clippers and he is interested in signing with the Celtics for the vet minimum.

Yeah, among other teams who are interested.
There's our backup PG and scoring help off the bench (if he signs).

Adam Himmelsbach ✔ @adamhimmelsbach According to a league source, the plan has always been for Guerschon Yabusele to be on the Celtics' roster in the fall. 5:44 AM - 7 Jul 2017 Yabusele is coming over! I like this  |

I like this So our bigs are starting to look like Horford, Zizic, Morris, Semi, Yab, Crowder, and in a desperate scenario Tatum. I'm probably one of the only ones still on the Gasol train. I love that once we spend up to the cap we can bring in a MLE and LLE guy. Maybe one guard and one big |

I don't think Semi will make the team; probably D-League bound. I'm disappointed so far; my expectations for him are much higher. |

I definitely have Yab ranked above him, and even Jordan Mickey, who might not be in the league this year |

I love that once we spend up to the cap we can bring in a MLE and LLE guy. Maybe one guard and one big Nope, no MLE this year. Since we used our cap space to sign someone, we forfeit the MLE. We can use the cap exception, which is around 4.5 mill. Next year we will be eligible for the MLE, since we will be over the cap. |

Once a year, teams can use a mid-level exception (MLE) to sign a player to a contract for a specified maximum amount. The amount of the MLE and its duration depend on the team's cap status. The MLE was initially set at $5 million for a duration of four years for teams that are over the cap either before or after the signing, but under the luxury tax apron, which is $4M above the tax line. Teams above the luxury tax apron have an MLE that was initially set at $3 million with a three-year duration. Teams with cap room, previously ineligible for the MLE, have a new MLE, initially $2.5 million with a two-year duration. The MLE was frozen at the stated levels through the 2012–13 season, since then, it has increased by 3% per season (with the percentage based on the initial amount of the exception, and not compounded).[6] In turn, this means that MLEs in the current 2016–17 season are:
$5.6 million for teams without cap room, below the tax apron
$3.36 million for teams over the tax apron
$2.8 million for teams with cap room
Before the 2011 CBA, the MLE was equal to the average NBA salary for all teams over the cap. Teams with cap room were previously ineligible for the MLE.[6] The Mid-Level Exception for the 2008–09 NBA season was $5.585 million.[33] The MLE was $5.854 million for the 2009–10 NBA regular season.[34]
Under the 2017 CBA, the apron will initially be set at $6 million above the tax line for the 2017–18 season. In a new feature, the apron will change from season to season, with the percentage change (up or down) set at half of the rate of change of the cap for that season.[9]
Bi-annual exception[edit]
The bi-annual exception was used to sign any free agent to a contract starting at $1.672 million. Like the mid-level exception, the bi-annual exception was also split among more than one player, and was used to sign players for up to two years, with raises limited to 8% per year. This exception was referred to as the "$1 million exception" in the 1999 CBA, although it was valued at $1 million for only the first year of the agreement.
I think we have some exceptions and teams always have the minimum contract exception
