NBA: Lakers are considering using their amnesty clause on Metta World Peace

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Jul 9 '13, 11:49

The Orange County Register reported Monday afternoon that "barring some late change," World Peace and his $7.7 million salary would be amnestied to help the Lakers save approximately $30 million in luxury tax fees.

- The Lakers would pay him his salary to go away, and it wouldn't count against their salary cap. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 12:17 1
  - It was approved in the last collective bargaining agreement. Each team is allowed 1 amnesty. Use it and you're done. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 12:18
the luxury tax line isn't even set yet. that 30$ million guess is likely way high....nm - x Jul 9, 11:55
Did you hear the interview with him on Sunday? He did not even know that Dwight was gone. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 11:52 2
- he mostly had a pretty good year until he got hurt....nm - x Jul 9, 11:56
- send him to North Korea to negotiate with Rodman. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 11:53
