    I think the Bulls are close to the cap.

    Easy to think of it that way. But, I think its the truth. This place is a great example of it.

    I want the Lakers to get him. That will be 2 years in a row we sabotage them with a guard. Why waste this Trojan Horse on the Warriors?

    Not beyond the realm of possibility. Kobe Bryant is, or was, a huge Roy fan.

    Top 20 player, vocal point of the offense. Was considered one of the biggest All Star Snubs of all time, got quiet a bit of attention Media wise going into the playoffs as being the next great PF. LMA isn't a main stream staple yet but he is about as close to being a star without being one as you can get.

    From Marc Stein and Chad Ford

    PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS

    Most likely amnesty cut: Brandon Roy

    How likely to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk

    Other amnesty candidate: Marcus Camby

    Analysis: If there's a more interesting amnesty conundrum out there in 2011, show us. Because of Roy's stature in the organization and the community, it's hard to imagine Portland going through with letting him go. Rewind to his franchise-player flashes in Game 4 of the Dallas series and it gets even harder. The reality, though, is that Roy has deteriorating knees, more than $50 million guaranteed left on a cap-clogging contract that runs through 2014-15 and little else on last season's highlight reel apart from that Game 4 eruption.

    The Blazers are publicly insisting that no decision has yet been made and that they haven't ruled out giving Roy one more season to try to regain something resembling his old form, but cutting ties with Roy -- expensive as it'll be -- looks like what both sides need to start fresh. Portland can't use the full mid-level exception and can't re-sign Oden without cutting ties first with Roy.

    is it possible to cut him and then resign him to a smaller contract? he's still going to get paid the other amount just not on the books right? i haven't been keeping up on the new cba and shit so i don't know if it covers this or not.

    Only in this one article have I heard we can't sign Oden if we don't use the amnesty on Roy. Is that true?
