Bulls weigh Carlos Boozer amnesty

大意：
簡單地來說，公牛只是告訴Boozer你下季鐵定不在公牛啦，有可能是被交易或是特赦
，然後公牛還是在試圖尋求交易的可能性，如果真的是這樣，我想這個動作比較大的
成分是在跟尼克就Melo的交易施壓，還有跟其他市場上的自由球員宣告。
The Chicago Bulls have told Carlos Boozer it is possible he will be waived
using the amnesty provision, but the team has made no final decisions,
sources told ESPN.com.
The Bulls met with free agent Carmelo Anthony on Tuesday and have a visit
planned with free agent Pau Gasol on Thursday. To clear salary-cap space for
either, the Bulls will have to release Boozer or use him in a sign-and-trade
deal.
Boozer is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $16.8 million
this season. The Bulls have until July 18 to use the amnesty clause on
Boozer, which would remove his salary from their books.
In that case, teams with cap space would be able to bid on Boozer in a waiver
process. He would be awarded to the highest bidder to pay a portion of his
salary. He would become a free agent only if there were no bids.
Currently, if the Bulls were to waive Boozer, they would have about $9.7
million in cap space.
If he is used in a sign-and-trade, the Bulls would be able to take back more
than $20 million in salary. This is why the Bulls are leaving their options
open with the veteran forward, sources said.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported Boozer already had been informed the Bulls
would use the amnesty provision on him.
Boozer averaged 13.7 points and 8.3 assists per game last season when he
rarely played in fourth quarters.
