to sign an amnesty player like Bdiddy, we wouldn't have to pay him much. The minimum should do it.Originally Posted by hunter2k4

Its like he got his love of basketball back.
and he's going to love it even more if he plays for the Lakers! sign the guy... Although I wanted to ask u guys a question... do we still have money to sign free agents out right or do we have to trade for players in order to acquire them?
It works like this, let's say Bdiddy is on contract for 15,000,000 a year. Since Cleveland amnestied him, he still gets that money regardless, it just doesn't count toward their cap.
So if we signed him for say 1,000,000. Baron gets 1 mil from us, and 14 mil from Cleveland.
Same goes for Arenas or any other player that gets amnestied.
It's pretty much like getting waived by a team, except it doesn't count toward your cap & teams under the cap have priority to pick you up. If no one picks you up after a few days (like what Billups wanted to happen to him), then you can sign with whoever you want.
