Bell to be Amnestied

We can use Bell to make a trade work, no point in having him amnestied until the trade deadline. It doesn't hurt the cap until the end of the season.

They can not amnesty him at the trade deadline it has to be done fairly soon. If they amnesty him it is solely because they do not want him around the rest of the team. That I understand. Even if they tell him he will not be active and will not dress. If he is on the roster he has a right to be in the building and at the practices and in training camp. I would not want that guy who is going to be a distraction around my team at this point.

that's called cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Not really. It is called sending a message to the rest of your players and future players of your franchise.

However I see no reason that same message can not be sent at the deadline to amnesty players.
 
they're going to send a message when they do this on july 17th (you can only use the amnesty clause in the first 7 days following the july moratorium). telling a guy, "we're so over you that we're going to pay you $3.3M to go away" is sending a message whether you do it on june 30 or july 17.

but doing it on june 30 means you don't have 17 days to check your options and see if you can use him as part of something else, when it costs the jazz literally NOTHING to wait the 17 days. THAT is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Believe amnesty does not start til the 11th.
 
Didn't read thru the whole thread but if the Jazz is going to use the amnesty - and obviously on Bell as many would like to - why not maximize it. I mean be creative about it.

For example (this is just a wild proposal - no way realistic)
Al Jeferson, Bell and Jazz's own 2013 pick for Bobcats' Tyrus Thomas, Kemba Walker (or whoever Jazz like from that line up), 1st round 2014 draft pick and say 2015 second round pick.

Then amnesty or amnestify, whatever the verb is, Tyrus Thomas.

We get rid of Bell, get something for Al Jeff.
They get rid of Tyrus Thomas horrible contract, get a "decent" guard and a good low post player they need. Of course losing KWalker, for example, is the price to pay for that.
