I don't think the Jazz have been counting on Memo to do anything since April of 2010.
The Amnesty the league is discussing is not necessarily annual, but I think it's more than a 1x thing like the Allan Houston rule that was introduced five or so years ago.

Really? I didn't think it was that bad.
If the Jazz could sign Wilson Chandler that would be awesome. He would give us a legitimate starting SF. And it would be funny to sign a Denver player.

I kind of doubt the Jazz would pay off Memo and then turn around and sign a FA.

They wouldn't amnesty Memo and then do nothing, either.
Well I think they would be forced to do "something" because they would have to fill out the roster. But if the roster was full and they amnesty Memo it would be for tax/cap reasons. Not just to go sign someone else. I don't think they would do that ether.

My larger point is they would Amnesty Memo if it meant avoiding a penalty or clearing room for minimal vets under the new CBA to then avoid penalty. But clearing Memo to sign a 5 million dollar player? I don't see them doing that.
This is what I was trying to say in my post. Billy as usual put it much better than I could.

...ONLY is the league minimum is $100,000 bucks!
The only reason to amnesty a player is if you're dodging the LT or trying to get under the cap enough to spend a lot of money in free agency. If the Jazz amnesty Memo, they're doing it to throw $7-$15 million around. I don't see them doing that either, which is exactly why this is a racket for the haves.
