    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Portland Trail Blazers guard Derek Anderson will be the first player waived under the NBA's new amnesty clause, NBA front-office sources said.

    The amnesty clause is a one-time exception that allows every team in the league to release one player -- they have until Aug. 15 to do so -- to avoid paying any further luxury tax on the player's contract.

    The Blazers, according to sources, are also expected to release guard Nick Van Exel on Wednesday, making Van Exel and Anderson unrestricted free agents.</div>

    I understand NVE but not Anderson, he's a veteran leader who can contribute for us.

    When NVE is in good health, I think he proves he still has alot of basketball in him. I`d say hes 2-3 more years of effectiveness in him. He and Kobe would make a pretty nice backcourt also.

    The Blazers didn't play him when he was healthy and DA was extremely unhappy so it made sense.

    NVE was refusing to play for a while and DA was having alot of injuries and stuff. but DA is an under estimated player in my book. i never heard anything about him being un happy though.
