A lot of the potentially useful amnesty candidates seem to be combo forwards, such as Marvin Williams, Travis Outlaw, and Rashard Lewis.  If you are looking for a center, does anyone really want DeSagana Diop?  What about Johan Petro?

I expect most clubs to not use the amnesty clause this off-season and several players becoming available in the summer of 2012 due to injuries this season.

If you're The Washington Wizards, who are not a high grossing succesful franchise, wouldn't you rather overpay for Rashard Lewis to play for you... than overpay him to go out and play against you? THEN have fan pressure to sign somebody else...

I don't think this Amnesty rule will have as big of an effect on low market teams.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't amnesty Rashard Lewis.  As long as there is no luxury tax issue (and there isn't with the Wizards), I would avoid waiving anyone who has even the slightest chance of being a trade asset. Lewis has a partially guaranteed last season which a team might be interested in trading for.

I don't think the obvious candidates are necessarily the right candidates.  For example, if I were Cleveland, I would consider ditching Antawn Jamison instead of Baron Davis if I really wanted to waive someone.

Guys, pleasa a little help. In hoopshype salary page 2011/12 6,8 mil to Rasheed Wallace still count against our cap.
http://hoopshype.com/salaries/boston.htm

If we amnesty Sheed and Green signs QO of 5,9 mil...we will be at 65,684mil. So if i understood new CBA, we can resign DWest and BBD for roughly 8,3 mil combine and still have a full MLE cause were not above 74mil. And then we can sign our rookies and round up the roster with vet.min guys.
Can mr.Roy and others tell me if my calculations are correct...

That certainly makes sense.
