]]> Yes, the NBA is still locked out that probably won’t change for a while.
However, one thing that has not been an issue during the discussions is the Amnesty Clause. Widely known as the Allan Houston rule, the clause allows players to release a player from their team, and still pay their salary without being hurt by the luxury tax.

On the Denver Nuggets the most likely victim is Harrington, since the Nuggets seem to have little use for the veteran power forward, who was brought in to stretch the floor an help Carmelo Anthony out.

Harrington is set to earn between $20 and $28 million over the next four years and currently has the second biggest contract on the Nuggets.

Other players that may be Amnesty victims as well and could pique the Nuggets interest are:  (more…)

There is currently a lot of negative opinions about the Denver Nuggets and how successful they will be this season when/if the lockout is lifted. And it is pretty apparent why.

Last season, they traded Carmelo Anthony – who many considered as the best player in Nuggets history. They have to replace three players who played important roles for the team. Wilson Chandler, JR Smith and Kenyon Martin have each signed to play in China and won’t be able to play in the NBA until April at the earliest. Even when they return there is no guarantee they will play for the Nuggets. And lets not forget that the return of Nene, who was arguably the Nuggets most valuable player down the stretch last season, is in question after he declined a contract extension this summer.
