Will the Jazz ever amnesty a player?

[Diamond77]

I noticed that different teams have used this clause since is in effect.

I'm wondering if the Jazz will ever use this possibility. I think it does not belong to their culture.

I think if they really wanted a piece they would. I don't think they'd amnesty unless they really thought they had to, though.

They have no reason to do so (the benefit is for salary cap and tax purposes, and the jazz are below the cap). And they have no one qualified to amnesty (contracts that was in effect prior to the 2011-12 season)

I wish you could trade the amnesty. You should be rewarded for managing your team so well.

I vote yes and willing to bet $100 on it.

They don't qualify any more. Favors signed an extension, which disqualified him. Hayward will be a FA in July before the amnesty could be used.
