Amnesty Clause...... A dream come true/ More

Buss would never agree to pay such costs despite his increased revenue. Chinese girls are asking for more lately to hang with the man.

I just want to know who would you guys pick up if these were the guys that got cut.

Arenas
Davis
Lewis

I would go for Davis

only Lewis, I dont like Davis attitude, if he got cut and still got paid he might just get even more lazy. Arenas is DONE....I would like to add Rip actually if he is AC'd....would be a great backup to Kobe, his game is perfect for the motion offense and isn't a ball dominant type.

SF:Artest/Lewis
PF:Gasol/Odom
C:Bynum/
SG:Bryant/Barnes
PG:????/Brown

If there is an Amnesty clause placed in the New CBA the Lakers may be able to use Luke as trade bait by taking back a player with a higher salary(that the Lakers could then waive) allowing the team getting Luke to waive him and not have to pay as much in salary. This may entice a team to make a trade with the Lakers for a player the Lakers want but may not have the right players to complete the trade.

several things wrong with this.

1. cant trade players, then waive them. they have to be on your team. first amnesty didnt allow this, not sure why this one would allow it this time
2. why would we want another overpaid, non productive player? u can bet no team is going to trade away a decent player just to waive luke walton

If the Lakers traded Walton, Blake, and DC to Denver for Felton and Harrington (just hypothetical) Denver would save over 10 million dollar by waiving Walton over Harrington. Harrington has 2 more yrs on his contract at over 5 mill per. Not saying any team would be willing to do it or the NBA would allow it but if they did maybe teams that are making more money my be ableto take advantage of teams looking more at their bottom line.

I would be dow for that, and then I just hope that Lewis, Maggette or Igga gets cut. I know Iggy wont but one can dream

Denver would not be able to waive Walton.
