With Will Barton and JaMychal Green both opting out of their respective player options, both likely resigning, the Denver Nuggets will likely stay below the tax line, giving them access to the full mid-level exception (MLE).
The MLE is expected to be around $9.5 million this offseason, giving the Nuggets a solid avenue to upgrade the team for this season and possibly beyond.
It should be noted that last season, the Denver Nuggets managed to sign JaMychal with the MLE.
