Amnesty Cut Allows Nets a Second Chance in Striking Gold in Free Agency


Recommended Posts

Most likely amnesty cut: Travis Outlaw

 

How likely to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk

 

Other amnesty candidates: Johan Petro

 

Analysis: Signing Outlaw to a five-year, $35 million deal was one of the most head-scratching moves of the summer of 2010. Outlaw rewarded the Nets with the worst season he's ever had, registering an abysmal PER of 8.8 last season. The Nets, as a result, have to be relishing the return of the amnesty clause as much as anyone.

 

While their primary focal point is summer of 2012, when they'll try to re-sign Deron Williams and land Dwight Howard alongside him, they'll be happy in the meantime to take a step in the right direction by removing Outlaw's remaining $24 million from the books.

No real explaination needed here. The Outlaw signing was a head scratcher when it was made, and he did nothing to silence the critics during the 2010-11 season. Get rid of him and hope you can strike it big in 2012.
