    Yeah, that's what i thought too. I thought the amnesty clause couldn't be used anymore anyway.

    It wouldn't surprise me if Portland took two or three of their young players and turned them into one of those all stars in the off season. Something similar to what happened to bring Pippen in years ago. 5 or 6 for one but in this case Barton, McCollum Leonard, Claver and Maybe a Matthews just for salary reasons.

    They don't have much in the way of roster spots. Free agent money is limited. They don't have any draft picks. So they will have to be creative to improve. Do you think a team that has succombed to idea to rebuild would look at relinquishing a Kobe type in return for younger, up and coming assets?

    I bet the two are Carmelo and John Wall.

    It would have to be an aging All-Star. Someone like Dwyane Wade. If LeBron DID leave Miami, I could see the Heat dealing Wade.

    I mentioned Kobe who is aging. But you're right, Dwayne would fit this mold.

    Dwayne would fit right in as he has knee problems.

    I guess Wall would be a sixth man player on the Blazers. We are so attracted to our starting five that they are all untouchable.
