Players To Be Amnestied

[ThaPreacher]

I think it is going to be an interesting off season.  There are a number of players who are likely to be amnestied as they are clearly overpaid.  The new salary cap might not make GM's and Owners more frugal.  However, clearly there are going to be some big names, amnestied-bought out, or traded.

I would not be surprised to see Kendrick Perkins one of them.

Here are some of the big name salaries.


Rashard Lewis                    22.7
Andris Biedrins                   9.0
Tyrus Thomas                     8.0
Emet Okafor                      13.5
Corey Magette                   10.9
Lamar Odom                        
Richard Jefferson               10.1

Trades Anyone?

Paul Gasol                         19 m
Al Jefferson                        15                
Luol Deng                           13.4
Brendon Hayward             8.3
Anderson Varejao             8.4
Joakim Noah                    10.3


Draft Night is Going Be Interesting.. The weeks following July 1st will be even more so.

Any players here interest you?

Perkins names has been mentioned a few times, but I don't see it. My guess is that if the Thunder really did want to part ways with him they'd certainly be able to dump him on someone.

Ya if OKC wanted out of his contract they could probably at least dump him and pick up something (draft pick maybe)

The two guys that interest me the most from that list is Tyrus Thomas and Okafor

Lewis and Okafor are no longer amnesty candidates, as they've been (unofficially) traded.

Nobody is taking on that contract.  He will be amnestied.

Word out of NO is that they are going to buy Lewis out.

Biendrins can't be amnestied either bc if Charlie Bell.
