what would happen if the Lakers use the amnesty clause on Kobe ?
Kobe has a no trade clause in his contract so no team should be allowed to pick him if he doesn't want, right ?

Lakers would amnesty him and pick him for the vet minimum and get 30M off their cap ?

Pretty sure if you amnesty a player you aren't allowed to resign him.

Once a team uses the amnesty on a player, he cannot rejoin that team until after the end of his current contract. So Kobe wouldn't be allowed to rejoin the Lakers until after the 2013-14 season.

What is the amnesty clause? Is it something that you can undo bad contracts?

Think of it as a one-time automatic waiver. The team still has to pay the $$$, but it doesn't count against their cap.

It would have no affect on 5-4.

I'm pretty sure a no-trade clause has nothing to do with Kobe refusing a team that picks him up off waivers

what a retarded idea
