NBA Free Agent Rumors: Miami Heat Will Benefit Most from Amnesty Clause

The Miami Heat are going to be better than ever this coming NBA season once they re-tool their roster and add even more talented players for minimum contracts.

There is a great chance that with the new amnesty clause a large number of solid and talented players will be freed from their current contracts and allowed to sign wherever they please.

It was put in to help teams who signed a player to a ridiculously large deal and found it didn’t pan out. They are able to cut them without it counting against their salary cap this season, but still must pay the player.

This is going to help contending teams like the Heat get great talent at bargain prices.

Miami obviously needs a point guard and center. With quite a few solid free agents available and a handful of expected amnesty causalities who will be seeking to sign on with a contender soon, as well as a mid-level exception to burn, the Heat should have a team that is once again the favorite to win the NBA Finals.

Last season, the Heat made the Finals with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and not much else in the way of talent.

Now, it’s quite possible for them to add players like Baron Davis and Samuel Dalembert while retaining Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem on the bench.

The advantages that the new CBA affords the Heat nearly guarantees that they will be back in the Finals this year if they are able to sign any decent amnesty causalities and free agents.

Unless Miami owner Micky Arison screws the pooch and decides not to recruit these newly homeless players, the Heat are going to be the best team in the league this season and have all the firepower in the world needed to bring them a championship.
