Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 2638824, member: 297"] I propose that picking up the option on Billups, only to use their only amnesty provision [I]on[/I] Billups right after picking that option, suggests they weren't doing it right. That's how it went down: [URL="http://www.espn.com/new-york/nba/news/story?id=6437715"]Knicks pick up $14.2M option to keep PG Billups[/URL] [URL="http://www.espn.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/7338517/chauncey-billups-waived-new-york-knicks-using-amnesty-clause"]Billups waived by Knicks using amnesty clause[/URL] Imagine a scenario where the Knicks pay Chauncey the 3.7M to opt out, and then amnesty a busted Stat, in order to max cap space around Melo. With the allure of NY, how different is their trajectory at that point? Instead Stat tied up their cash and they did things like trade picks for an about to get waived Bargnani. [/QUOTE]
