amnesty players jazz might have interest in?

[Bodhi]

I don't see why a team shouldn't be able to amnesty a 2005 CBA contract acquired in a trade. If they're going to allow teams to hold onto their amnesty in order to be fair to teams that haven't been ****ing retarded, why not go all the way? I'm not an OKC fan, but if they weren't allowed to use amnesty on a player acquired through trade then they have effectively just been punished for not contributing to the ills of the NBA that led to a lockout.

1) I think the cap might be frozen this year from last year. I've seen reports that the cap could be $58 million. If that's the case, the Jazz are already under the cap.

I think you're forgetting the rookies. Looks to me like we have about 62 million committed with 11 players, although it seems like I've seen it reported at 60 a few times. I don't know where they're getting their numbers. If my numbers are right, that would put Utah about 7 million under the cap if they amnesty Memo. I think Kenwood said 4.9 million under, and he's usually pretty acurate. I'm not sure where the discrepency is.

And even if they release Memo, they'd only be $4.9M under the cap...so in no better free agent position than if they just used the $5.0M MLE.

I've been getting my numbers off of hoopshype, but they don't jive with yours. I know I'm probably missing something. Are their numbers right?
