Don't get your hopes up. He's not going to clear waivers.

That means some one will want to pay him 60+ million over the next 3 years? Doubtful. He will clear waivers easily. Hopefully he signs back with us for the VE.

We are still over cap and the harsh tax doesnt kick in for a couple years I dont think...
I thought we would give him this year to sink or swim, but I guess not.

The only hope is something big is in the works and we needed him off the books to not go way, way into tax. Or...D12 is gone and they dont want to pay tax for a team that wont make the playoffs..

Who knows...

We're at 44.9 mil now. We might be even lower because we might have to send Q Rich to Boston in this trade to equal out.

6.5 million a year is too much for a starting PF that is an upgrade?

Waiver wire teams can make contract offers on him for part of the salary, or did this change?

hopefully his "father figure" gave him some fatherly advice and told him that money isnt whats important in life, its being happy. Or some crap to make him take less money

Yes, so long as the league approves, from the mouth of our CEO

i just remember when he played against the lakers in the finals and was screaming with spit flying out of his mouth. Hopefully he brings this same intensity to orlando

As obvious as it was to amnesty Arenas, I didn't think we would do it. I'm glad. Best of luck, Gil.

In next few hours, I expect Magic to announce signings of draft picks Justin Harper & DLiggins. Also, signing Tony Battie strong possibility

iTs JusT zo · Post #1156 » by **iTs JusT zo** » Fri Dec 9, 2011 7:49 pm

so gils a goner? he could resign to a more reasonable contract right?

I dont think much teams would want him.

Otis "father figure" smith might be the only one to throw 5-6 mil at him

as far as I know, its a bidding process, and whatever portion he gets on his new contract is taken off of the amnestied one...

if no one else wants him and he signs for vet min on a contender like bulls, we still pay gil virtually his full amount. Even if he were to clear waivers, I'm not sure if rules allow waiving team to resign a player once he's cleared.

SolidSnake008 · Post #1158 » by **SolidSnake008** » Fri Dec 9, 2011 7:49 pm

So wait......So basically we can get Arenas back for less money? it that legal? lol

rcklsscognition · Post #1159 » by **rcklsscognition** » Fri Dec 9, 2011 7:50 pm

Now I'm confused about amnesty. I was under the impression that a player on waivers would 1st go through a round of waivers where teams were allowed to take on his existing contact. If no one did, they would then get into a bidding war. Are we thinking Arenas and Otis had a deal for him to come back and sign for like a million? I don't see how that can be legal.

If we are under the cap, then does that mean we can sign amnestied players?
