I say we resign CJ just to amnesty him.

Bell, last year, counted for about 5% of the salary cap (3.0M of a 56.0M or so cap). I imagine it will not be any different under the new CBA. Not going to sign an impact player with 5% more of the salary cap over not having that 5%. It'll just be a waste of 7 million dollars, while there's a chance (slim as it would be on the court) it won't be wasted with him on the roster.
Oh, and combo breaker.

So you would pay him money, cut him (but he would still get paid), then he would just sign somewhere else? That sounds like it would be awesome to be CJ. Get payed 2x the amount you normally would.

It'd be worth every cent.*
*Says the guy who isn't paying for it.
But actually I'm just joking. Okur makes the most sense. As much as I hate Bell, and I do, we don't have a log jam at 2 and 3.
So we let Memo go. Then what? We're going to be under the cap enough that we're going to go out and sign somebody? We're going to let one of the only decent veterans (both in terms of chemistry and within playing a more limited role) go, gaining absolutely zero practical financial savings, and somehow this will help the franchise? With the way we currently sit, the only benefit the team could enjoy from an amnesty is ridding ourselves of a malcontent. That's about it.

Bingo. Raja is the only possibilty, and it would be an addition by subtraction move. Even then, I think Utah could probably unload him for a late third rounder. Maybe.
Have to agree with YB. The answer is no one.
