3+ years left. Amnesty gone. What can be worse at this point than that signing? And, not saving the amnesty for him? I am not blaming all these injuries on him because they were not necessarily his fault but this is fast becoming the next H20 disaster.

When the amnesty was first announced it was quickly coined the Amar'e clause, but the Knicks used it on Billups.

....and got a guy named tyson chandler who has been the MVP of the knicks defense which is rated 6th in the league.

Thats not the point. Chandler has been great but that could have also turned into Howard and Paul/DWil.

This does not take away from Chandler but he is not worth two stars.

curious to see how it could have turned into howard and paul when both are under contract until 2013 and the knicks have nothing to trade.

Well if they amnestied Stat (if needed) and Billups contract came off the books, how much cap room would they have had?

Signing a FA for a 100 mill, then waiving him 10 months later, what does that say about your franchise..lets be honest, have you even ever heard of anything that ridiculous..

That amnesty would have been big right now.

Tyson Chandler ended up being a good signing, even at the price we paid him, but my concern the day we were rumored to be amnestying Billups was that we needed to save it for Amar'e because eventually we'd have to use it on him. I didn't think we'd be talking about such a thing so early but yet here we are. We took a big risk signing this guy and it worked out for one season. This season has been up and down (mostly down) and now we have 3 more years of this. He's untradeable and uninsurable. Not sure what the league provisions are on retired/injured players but I hope there is some cap relief if we need to make a drastic move in the near future.
