says who? Has someone posted a CBA that says you can't? In the old version, once a player was said to be "disabled"/out for the year, you could apply for the DPE. If we got that, say, tomorrow, it's independent of whether or not we amnesty someone.
I think that just applies to Roy. We could still use the amnesty on someone else this season or next.

Can't figure out whose minutes get cut into the most Felton Wesley or Batum I would assume Wesley, but I could see Crawford playing the 1 a little bit(right?)
I mean it makes sense. NY is the better destination for him (I'd say in terms of winning and playing time), maybe he could make up the money difference in endorsements. But I hope he signs with us, Crawford would be great for us.
So... this would leave Roy able to go wherever in the NBA he wanted to sign, right? And it would cut into our cap space next summer. All to add a 31 year-old poor-shooting shooter? Bleh. Ed O.

Well.....We might be getting a big shot taker and maker to replace Roy. I like the signing. If you don't like it you don't like the Blazers, plain and simple
and for likely one season as he will probably have an opt out clause next summer, sort of a no lose deal IMO
Yes. He can pull a DMiles on us and amnesty would prevent any chance of that. But I don't see Brandon doing that.
