What does "MLE" stand for in refrance to NBA free agents?

Just a guess, but I'd say "mid-level exception." It's an approximately $5 million exception to the salary cap afforded to every team. If you see it next to a player, that might mean that they've been offered, or accepted, a team's mid-level exception.

No, it just means that the players that got the card will be replaced by another player in the next game. The punishment goes to the player not the team

Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) are players who have completed four or more accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They are free to sign with any club through July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). On July 23, their exclusive rights will revert to their original club if that club made a June 1 tender to these players. Teams will have until the Tuesday after the 10th week of the season (November 14) to sign their unrestricted veteran free agents to whom a tender was made on June 1. If the player does not sign by November 14, he must continue to sit out the remainder of the season. If a June 1 tender is not made to a UFA, he continues to be free to sign with any club.\n\nRestricted Free Agents (RFA) are players who have completed three accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They have received qualifying offers from their old clubs and are free to negotiate with any club until April 21, at which time their rights revert to their original club. If a player accepts an offer from a new club, the old club will have the right to match the offer and retain the player. If the old club elects not to match the offer, it may receive draft-choice compensation depending on the level of the qualifying offer made to the player.\n\nThe signing period for unrestricted free agents began March 11 and concludes on July 22 (or the first scheduled day of the first NFL training camp, whichever is later). The signing period for RFAs also began March 11 but concludes on April 21.

Position eligibility in basketball is always a little stranger than it is in other sports. Part of it might be that the position designations are a little iffy at times. Teams don't always have two guards, two forwards and a center on the floor. Besides, I don't think Yahoo has any set minimums for position eligiblity for hoops. It just is whatever they say it is. You might petition their fantasy sports people to see about getting this player's eligibility changed. If it's the player that I'm thinking of, I imagine quite a few other people have had the same complaint.

Maybe you meant the player's being disqualified?  If so, that would mean that a player either accumulated 6 personal fouls and has "fouled out" (This means that they are no long eligible to re-enter the game) or they have been given two technicals by the officials and have been tossed from the game. \n\nHope this helps.

Both these answers are basically correct, just one part left out: If the player signs an offer sheet with another team, his current team gets a chance to match it.\n\nThere is also a "Transition Player" tag a team can slap on a player. It is the same as a "Franchise Player", except two differences:\n\n1) A Franchise Player gets a salary of the average of the top 5 players for that position or 120% of last season's salary whichever is greater. A Transition Player gets a salary of the average of the top 10 players for that position or 120% of last season's salary whichever is greater.\n\n2) If either type of player signs with another team, his current team gets a chance to match or beat the offer. If they do not match it, the team gets compensated with two 1st round draft picks for a Franchise Player, and no compensation for a Transition Player.

VanHorn's official status is "unsigned free agent"...He played last year for the Mavericks (made over $15M), but did not want to come back this year for what would have been a big pay cut

Sprewell does not play anymore because he asked for too much much money during free agency period. He can still sign to another team but right now no one wants him. They are probally scared of getting choked.

If you are drafted by a pro baseball organization you are "theirs" for two years, regardless of whether you sign a contract or not.  If you don't sign a contract within those two years with that team, you are thrown back into the draft pool and can be picked in the draft again, hopefully by a different team.\n\nLetters of intent are primarily used in the college context.  If you could provide a bit about where you saw the reference, that would be helpful; often, high school players sign LOIs to play for colleges, but those are released when the high schooler gets drafted by a pro team and decides he'd rather start his pro career right away.

When a team looses free agents, not by releasing them, depending on how they perform they can recieve picks for them.  It is kinda a guess work as to exactly how.  The league commitee or something just gives them out.  Like the other guys said, a secret formula.
