    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Blazers to be first team to use rule for luxury tax relief:</div><div class="quote_post">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>

    Someone will sign Anderson. He has put up consistant double digit numbers throughout his career (except for this past season), though he is up there in age, somebody will take a chance on Anderson because of his experience.
