Return of the Amnesty Clause!
Reports are surfacing regarding the "Amnesty Clause" being included in the new CBA deal.
For those that forget, the Amnesty Clause gives teams a one time offer of releasing a player and shedding their cap figure from their salary cap.
So, which teams are going to be taking advantage of this? Obviously cap-strapped teams and perhaps clubs with new ownership groups.
So fill in the blanks here! Who is going to get the Amnesty Axe?

Basically Curry-proofing the NBA, the way it should be!
I love how even David Stern has been poking fun at Eddy Curry throughout the process.
When players brought up JJ Barea as an example of a valuable piece to a championship team getting only $1.8 a season, Stern replied, "I see your JJ Barea and raise you Eddy Curry." :roll:

Amnestied players still get paid right?
If so, what would stop all of them from stacking together for the minimum on the Heat?

Kobe and the Lakers?:rolleyes:
Re: Return of the Amnesty Clause!
I don't think Arenas will be amnestied right away (last i read they said it can be used anytime over the new CBA but only on a player who was on your roster at the time of the CBAs begining) With otis's history with Arenas i think they'll try one more year out of him. Not that i agree with that though just my thoughts.

If the Raptors were to use it, it would probably be on Kleiza.
Re: Return of the Amnesty Clause!
while we're at it.
Michael Redd and Bucks.
PS: no disrespect to Redd but damn...he got lazy after signing that contract in 2005.

So the Nets could get rid out Outlaw?
Re: Return of the Amnesty Clause!
Probably Brendan Haywood in Dallas so we have more tax money available to go after Tyson Chandler. Sounds like a $10 mill contract will really be $35,000,000 with the tax applied.
Hope its worth it.
