The JaVale head scratcher, and what’s left on Day 2 for the Suns

Last night, you voted highly on the Phoenix Suns haul on the first day of free agency, but one move left me scratching my head the more I thought about it.

The Suns agreed to a deal with veteran center JaVale McGee worth reportedly $5 million. For McGee, that’s more money than he has made in any of the last five years. For the Suns, who are over the cap and only using cap exceptions to sign players, that number is so big it can only come from the Mid-level exception, leaving the Suns out of the bidding for any more free agents who want more than $4 million per year.
