"
Amnesty on World Peace would make the Lakers' tax bill dip to only $8.3 million for a total payroll with tax of $85.3 million ($93 million including World Peace's share).
By not using the one-time amnesty, the Lakers are looking at approximately $112 million (including tax).
Is World Peace worth the $19-million difference?
Even if the team can't find a suitable replacement, that number has to be tempting to the Lakers during the amnesty window. "
READING THAT MAKES ME WONDER WHY THE LAKERS WOULD NOT AMNESTY HIM. ITS THE OBVIOUS THING TO DO .
MY QUESTION: WHO CAN SIGN HIM IF HE DOES GET AMNESTIED? ISNT THAT ONLY TEAMS BELOW THE CAP CAN SIGN HIM???
