Built Ford Tough Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Most likely amnesty cut: Travis Outlaw How likely to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk Other amnesty candidates: Johan Petro Analysis: Signing Outlaw to a five-year, $35 million deal was one of the most head-scratching moves of the summer of 2010. Outlaw rewarded the Nets with the worst season he's ever had, registering an abysmal PER of 8.8 last season. The Nets, as a result, have to be relishing the return of the amnesty clause as much as anyone. While their primary focal point is summer of 2012, when they'll try to re-sign Deron Williams and land Dwight Howard alongside him, they'll be happy in the meantime to take a step in the right direction by removing Outlaw's remaining $24 million from the books. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7147880/nba-most-likely-amnesty-candidates No real explaination needed here. The Outlaw signing was a head scratcher when it was made, and he did nothing to silence the critics during the 2010-11 season. Get rid of him and hope you can strike it big in 2012.

Teletopez Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Not sure if an Amnesty Clause will still be in the plans for the new CBA and whether it will remove 100% of the salary amount from the cap, but it certainly looks like the Nets would use it as soon as they could to open up cap room.
