    Sure thing. I think there are other provisions like teams under the salary cap get first dibs, but that's the basic framework from what I've read.

    Probably. Or else you gotta think the big market teams over the cap would have paid all or most of a few guys already.

    These owners haven't learned from the lockout... Some of these deals are ridiculous

    Any team can bid on an amnesty players salary. They bid the portion they are willing to pay, and the highest bid wins. Whatever portion is bid is the portion that team pays, the remainder is paid by the team that amnestied the player.

    Ex. Player has salary of $10 mil. Gets amnestied.

    Highest bid is $2 mil. Bidding team gets the player and pays $2 mil. Amnestying team pays remaining $8 mil, but it doesn't count against the cap.

    The teams that wins, the amount they pay goes towards the cap or no?

    The Knicks traded for Kurt Thomas??? Another former Knick who is old. I have no idea what the Knicks are doing. I'm guessing they don't either.

    They're trying to be good enough to get the 4th seed so instead of getting swept by a good team they lose in 6 to a shitty team.

    I'm cool with it. Little $$, he can still scored off the bench. We need the depth.

    OJ Mayo has signed with Dallas. Dirk getting a little bit of help..
  • Commander of Awesome
    I'm surprised it took so long to get him signed. I wish the Cavs would have tried to sign him, he's a guy that score 20 or close to it if he's getting playing time.

    Humphries has averaged a double double the last two years. IDK about 12 mill a year but he should be worth 9-10.

    Darren Rovell tweeted that this should be Anthony Davis' Nike logo....
