14.6 mill avail will get us a good player. If we can dump martin for draft pick it would be even nicer
I doubt they would even consider using the amnesty on Martin since he will be an expiring contract. Maybe Scola, but I think he has some trade value.
I think Bima can confirm this, but a lot if tied up into Cap Holds for Camby and Dragic, they need to re-signed or renounced rights to have any significant cap space. From what I've gathered from various websites these are the salaries and cap holds. Kevin Martin $12,439,675 Luis Scola $9,408,207 Kyle Lowry $5,750,000 Shaun Livingston $3,500,000 Patrick Patterson $2,096,720 Marcus Morris $1,905,360 Jon Brockman $1,000,000 Chandler Parsons $888,250 Greg Smith $762,195 Courtney Forston $762,195 Diamon Simpson $762,195 Jon Leuer $762,195 Derek Fisher $644,005 Donatas Motiejunas $1,134,500 12th Pick $1,683,500 16th Pick $1,371,200 18th Pick $1,237,500 Courtney Lee $3,221,924 Frederic Weis $1,443,300 Marcus Camby $16,607,250 Goran Dragic $4,005,200 Earl Boykins $854,389
What??? With his VERY valuable $12.4 mil expiring contract? Not a chance, especially when we can get something in return for him.
per NBA rules, no contracts may be negotiated prior to July 1st, there is a reason why that thread was locked.
Hell no, he'll ruin the on court chemistry by being constantly in and out of the line up through injury.
So you're telling me you would NOT amnesty Martin if it meant getting Dwight and Deron? What did we get for Camby's 9.4 million expiring last year? Also Martin wasn't valuable last year we could do without him this year if we plan to rebuild.
www.shamsports.com They've got much more accurate player salary information. It's great that hoopshype has updated for the recent trades, but I can find numerous errors on the Rockets page alone.
