okay all of that makes sense -- the phrase "bought out" was throwing me off cuz normally it refers to the team buying the contract back for less than it's worth

yah is there a rule that u cant resign yr amnestied players

so couldn't the knicks just amnesty him and - crossing their fingers hoping no one claims him - sign him for ten cents on the dollar, freeing up cap space?
xp ha i figured, that makes sense
― k3vin k., Friday, 9 December 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link
If a team acquires an amnestied player through secondary waivers, they pay a portion of the player’s salary equal to their bid. If the Knicks waive Billups and the Clippers are the winning bidder at $5 million, then the Clippers pay him $5 million this season, with the Knicks continuing to be responsible for the remaining $9.2 million of his $14.2 million salary.
― OOOO, Friday, 9 December 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
My understanding is he can't resign with the Knicks. I believe any player bought out under amnesty or otherwise (say, the new stretch provision) may not sign with that team for a calendar year, as with traded players (preventing the Big Z/Gary Payton shenanigans of yore).

You can't make this shit up:
"Warriors reserve guard Charlie Bell spent hours in custody Thursday after showing up to court legally drunk for a hearing on his drunken driving case, according to the ABC affiliate in Flint, Mich."

apparently charlie bell really likes drinking!
― cad, Friday, 9 December 2011 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
I hope he got a ride to court.

It's like that time Eddy Curry met his Weight Watcher's consultant at Golden Corral.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 9 December 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
how fast does the amnesty process work (e.g., will we know today if billups or davis have been chosen by any of the below-cap teams)?
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
lol, i'm hoping against hope that curry shows up today in top-shape!
he's been out of the news so long there's no idea what he'll look like, except it's likely he will be 836 pounds.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- Y! Free Agent-Trade Buzz: Nets preparing huge offer for Nene Friday, reports swirling of tampering with Dwight Howard.
lol every star player is going to hate the league soon.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
not sure if this tweet means that the nets -- fearing a tampering investigation or an invalidation of their possible trade with orlando -- are now turning away from howard to nene, or if this is the first piece of a two-piece plan to get both howard and nene on their team. that would be a pretty formidable frontcourt.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
i don't see how they could afford howard nene and dwill, but who knows

nene is athletic enough to play the 4
― v-shasty, Friday, 9 December 2011 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
Sign Nene and trade him for Howard.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 9 December 2011 19:03 (twelve years ago) link
or that -- nene's agent would prob get a whiff of that and steer clear tho

@EthanJSkolnick -- The Heat got 3 years each of Battier and Jones for a combined total of less than $15M. Clippers paid $24M for 3 years of Caron.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
and i guess samuel dalembert has gone into hibernation until nene decides where he's going

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- As teams wait to re-engage Hornets on Chris Paul, here's one executive: "Truly feel for those guys, but we're all gonna lowball them now."
lol now maybe lakers can get CP3 for world-peace.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
that can certainly be sold to the league:
"yeah, lakers are getting a superstar player. but the hornets are getting WORLD PEACE, and that's something money can't buy."
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 9 December 2011 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
