Ennesimo articolo su come le squadre potrebbero utilizzare l'amnesty clause. Mi soffermo un attimo sulla parte dell'articolo dedicata ai cavs:
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
Most likely amnesty cut: Baron Davis
How likely to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk
Other amnesty candidates: Antawn Jamison
Analysis: The Cavs dumping Davis is widely regarded as one of the inevitabilities of the second amnesty wave in NBA history. Especially since the Cavs landed Kyrie Irving with the No. 1 overall pick in June and still have Ramon Sessions on the roster. Yet sources close to the situation insist that this decision isn't as automatic as some would make it out to be.
The Cavs are known to not value cap space as much as trade assets. They've also been on a mission to acquire future draft picks since the departure of LeBron James. And since Davis is owed $13.9 million this season, but with only $2.5 million of his $14.8 million salary in 2012-13 guaranteed if he's waived by the end of June 2012, Cleveland is clinging to the belief that Davis could be a valuable trade asset if the Cavs hold onto him. There's also one more issue: If the Cavs were to burn their amnesty card on Davis, sources say LeBron's Heat would become an instant suitor and serious threat to sign Baron ... which would be painful beyond words for Cavs owner Dan Gilbert to stomach.
None of the above, though, has convinced rival teams that Cleveland can resist caving in the end and sending Baron back to free agency. Maybe slam dunk is too strong, but it's certainly closer to a lock than a jump ball that the Cavs make this move and hand the keys to Irving on Day 1.
La parte in grassetto mi risulta essere completamente errata. Secondo i siti principali che trattano l'argomento il contratto di Baron Davis per la stagione 2012/2013 sarebbe garantito per 12.3 mil $ su 14.8 mil $ ovvero praticamente il contrario di quello che scrivono su espn.
Patetico poi il fatto di dover sempre tirare in mezzo Lebron, eh si sono proprio i fans quelle che non riescono a lasciarsi alle spalle la questione...
Mi sembrano sempre più sulla buona strada per raggiungere il "livello gazzetta".
