There are a few teams like Washington & Charlotte that still have their Amnesty clause... As one Knick fan I wouldn't be against a trade like this:
Example 1: NY Knicks & Charlotte Bobcats
Knicks send Amar'e to Charlotte for Corey Maggette & Tyrus Thomas...
Both Corey & Tyrus are probably on the chopping block by Charlotte:
Corey last year $11M contract - yes injury prone but for one year well worth the risk
Tyrus 3 years left $26M contract - could fill our rotation with a young talented player or be used as trade bait for other player(s) or draft pick(s)
Actually would like Tyrus Thomas @ PF could fit nicely in our starting rotation with Melo, Shumpert, Lin, & Chandler... Think this rotation would be steady productive...
Why would Charlotte do this because they will free up $20M with this trade and use Amnesty on Amar'e Stoudemire... Since using Amnesty doesn't put against the cap, New York Knicks Business could send financial support to Charlotte without it being held against either team's cap space...
Thoughts???
