Wondering, whats an amnesty clause?

 

[bean pie slanga]

Each team has one amnesty clause to use on a player currently under contract. The players’ salary will be removed from the team’s cap.

Example: Brandon Roy

 

[statis22]

Allows a team to release a player & their contract from the team's salary cap with no penalty.

That owners needing protection from themselves kind of thing.

when i think about it, not much at all. its only good if your over the luxury tax. Orlando will be using it for sure and its probably gonna be on Arenas or Turk.

Here goes an article from about a month ago.



Interesting read.

 

[bhzmafia14]

So, if someone gets cut like Brandon Roy, a team can pick him up for any price?

I hope the Lakers can sign him. Roy could be a combo guard off the bench or even starter next to Kobe. He could be the Ron Harper to Kobe's Michael Jordan in a sense.

Yep.
