The rights to a player allow you to ignore whether you have cap room or not, up to a limit (the limits I posted above). So if we have cap room we certainly can use it on Biz. But, for example, we can offer DeMar the max even if we are way over the cap, because of those rights we have for him. So with Biz, we can offer him a 3M per year deal even if we are way over the cap. But to offer more we need an exception or cap space to do so.

So we have had Biyombo and Scola for only one year, and they signed via free agency, so we have only their player rights.
James Johnson signed via FA two years ago, so he gets early Bird Rights.
DeMar has been with the team for at least three years, so we have his full Bird Rights.
Biyombo's a great example. If he was to sign a one year deal with us using the mid-level and become a free agent again the following summer, he'll have two consecutive years with the team. So he'd then have his early Bird Rights with us, just like JJ does now.
Similarly, when we traded for Lowry, he had less than three years left on his deal. But because he was traded, the earlier portion of his contract essentially came with him, meaning he had three years of service with the team in spite of him getting traded to us partway through that deal. That allowed us to use his full Bird Rights to sign him to the deal he is on now.

Dan,
Accepting the salary cap for 2016/17 of $92 MM with the expectation that James Johnson will not be back. If Powell has stepped up to be at least a solid backup for Carroll. The Raptors reach out and make the trade of the 1st round pick for a future 1st round pick in 2018, clearing $1.5 MM from the cap space from the 11 person roster including the Knicks pick for 2016/17.
The cap hold of DeRozan is almost $14.8 MM makes 12 person Roster , so who does the Team add that would be beneficial to have Biyombo to stay and than give him a Whiteside Lite contract in 2017/18.

DD cap hold is probably 15.1M (it will depend on exactly which incentives he hits this year).
Right now the team is lined up for almost exactly 89M in committed salary. So removing 1.5M and the cap rising to 92M means less than 5M in cap room. In other words, might as well just operate over the cap and use the MLE to try (and fail) to re-sign Biyombo.
I'm not sure I fully understood the question.

is the mle cba locked? would it realistically raise in the next cba agreement with the higher cap?

I think Bismack's value on the market is probably about 10M per year. So the MLE (6M) is a pretty significant pay cut. I doubt he stays, though it would obviously be great to get him on a cheap deal like that, even if for just a year (one more year and we'd have his Early Bird Rights and could offer him that 10M per year deal).

Oh, and we have the MLE regardless of what other picks we sign. So long as the team is operating over the cap (and not in the tax) we have the full MLE.
