whats an amnesty?

An amnesty is a new rule where a team can do it (amnesty) to 1 player per season. Meaning that contract does not go against their salary cap. The Team still has to pay that player. So Orlando should be still paying Arenas meaning another team would get him for very cheap.

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

It came in so that say you have a $20 million player get injured seriously (say 2-3 lean years of injuries like Michael Redd and Arenas) they can amnesty them and wipe it from the teams salary cap. This will allow the team to still have a chance to rebuild.

Beasley

"Twenty-four hours from now? Whooooo," Beasley said, his voice rising when asked if he still expected to wear a Wolves uniform Thursday night at Utah. "I mean, of course. But if I'm not, I'm not.
"I'm just a pawn in this game. L.A. Boston, New Jersey, Orlando, anywhere they decide to move me, then I've got to go. I'm not saying I want to, but that's something I have no control over. I'd love to stay here. It don't make it no easier if I've got to up and move. I got a nice-sized house with a lot of things inside of it, but I'd rather stay. If I've got to go, it's just business."
Beasley said he talked with Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn but said Kahn made no promises either way if he'd be traded or not.
