    I would love to pick up boozer off amnesty! He is exactly the type of player you want coming off your bench!

    I'll take that bet all day for $5k.

    There is no chance Boozer would clear amnesty waivers, a team under the cap would claim him.

    Amnesties can only happen in July so its an odd article to come out today.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    don't they have to pay him what he's making?

    nope, I had that wrong. It lessens the amount that the waiving team plays.

    Who is under that cap that much? He's making something like 14 million this year.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    I think you guys are misunderstanding how the amnesty works. He will be a free agent. It's not like waiving him. His contract is essentially terminated, but he still makes the money. Think of Brandon Roy. We amnestied him and he was free to sign a contract with the TWolves. Any team could sign Boozer if the Bulls amnesty him for any price.

    No Andre to Ptd. We already have a mentor for a PG in Watson and Miller would be upset (maybe rightful so) if Mo gets more minutes than him. Nothing against Miller, but I think there is significant risk that he will mess up the chemistry going on here.

    Incorrect. Travis Outlaw was amnestied and the Kings bid on him.

    The kings got him for a bid of 4 years 12 million

    Because of our game, Thaddeus won an award, and bumped off a rival.

    The Blazers did the Wolves a favor by giving the 76ers false confidence!

    You're welcome T-wolves!

    No you don't understand how amnesty works. Teams under the cap can bid on him and they only have to pay the veteran minimum. The team that submits the highest bid gets Boozer. Its similar to Chauncy Billups, he was amnesties with a $15 million contract from the Knicks; the Clippers were the highest bidder and claimed him for $2 million.

    If amnestied, Boozer will not be a free agent, he will be claimed off amnesty waivers.
