Re: Mark Cuban suggests that Lakers consider using amnesty on Kobe Bryant
I'm glad you've finally found someone just as stupid to agree with what you (or your alter ego Nash) have been saying for a while now, and the fruit of that marriage is this retarded thread. Enjoy!
Re: Mark Cuban suggests that Lakers consider using amnesty on Kobe Bryant
Yup, and Cube's can use all the cap space he has loaded up for the offseason to claim Kobe.
C'mon, Kobe 30 mil doesn't put the lakers under the cap. Now if you lose Dwight for nothing, thats 50 mil gone on a 100 mil total salary, which I think is still over the salary cap although they would be under the tax
Re: Mark Cuban suggests that Lakers consider using amnesty on Kobe Bryant
Can they amnesty him and then resign him? Idk the rules, but didn't OKC do that with Perkins (or were going to)? If that's possible within the rules then i say do it. 30 mill could go far
Re: Mark Cuban suggests that Lakers consider using amnesty on Kobe Bryant
I've said for the last couple years that the Lakers won't be able to rebuild a contender until Kobe's contract comes off the books. It's not that Kobe isn't a great player, it's just that he isn't worth 40-50% of a teams cap space anymore.
Re: Mark Cuban suggests that Lakers consider using amnesty on Kobe Bryant
"If you look at their payroll ... you've got to ask that question, 'Should they amnesty Kobe?'" Cuban said on ESPN's "Ben and Skin Show" in Dallas. "I'm just saying that hypothetically," Cuban said. "When I say amnesty Kobe, I don't think they'd do it, but they've got some choices to make. Now, they're in a big market, but they're still limited."
Re: Mark Cuban suggests that Lakers consider using amnesty on Kobe Bryant
Don't think they haven't thought about it. Why do you think they've left their amnesty just laying around? It's not like they haven't had any bad contracts. It's like a last resort.
