Built Ford Tough Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Most likely amnesty cut: None How likely not to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk Other amnesty candidates: Francisco Garcia, John Salmons Analysis: The Kings' need for Garcia, now that they've drafted Jimmer Fredette, is questionable at best, especially at the steep price of $18.3 million over the next three seasons. But there's going to be a minimum salary level in the forthcoming labor deal that Sacramento would conceivably struggle to hit as the roster is presently constituted unless big signings or trades are on the way when camps and a compressed transaction period eventually commence. So it seems safe to presume that Garcia and John Salmons will have to start the new season with the Kings, who fall into the group of teams loudly pushing for an amnesty clause that can be saved for later usage. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7147880/nba-most-likely-amnesty-candidates Not much to say to this as it is 100% correct. The Kings can't afford to use an amnesty cut on a player, despite how much they may want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
