Amnesty Clause: Teams' Most Likely Candidate
ESPN's Chard Ford and Marc Stein wrote an article on the "Amnesty Clause" and analyzed each team and players likely to be affected by the clause. The said our most likely candidate is Charlie Bell. They also mentioned David Lee as a possibility. Here's what they had on Andris:
Sources likewise insist that the Warriors are leaning against ditching Biedrins, irrespective of the Latvian lefty's ongoing (and frightening) funk at the free throw line, corresponding reticence to get involved on offense in any meaningful way and the $27 million owed to him through 2013-14. Based on the premise that established NBA big men are always tradable somewhere and routinely overpaid -- we're told Golden State certainly believes the tradability part -- Bell is the most likely to go ... if excising his $4.1 million expiring contract gives Golden State salary-cap space it can really use once the new cap ceiling is finalized.

Sigh.
Of course the Warriors would use this amazing gift on a $4.1M expiring contract.

but Bell is the most worthless contract
not to mention the fact that buying out either Beans or Lee would cost tens of millions.
that’s not pocket change. Heck, even shelling out $4 million has got to hurt a little bit, especially after the lockout

Because it probably is the right move. If Biedrins shows ANYTHING, he’ll have value…. but I just want to get rid of him ASAP.
I guess I have to respect management if they keep Biedrins. Not just giving away potential assets. He is just 25, and has been a starting caliber center.
