But, we're back with the next installment of 139-120. This segment of my list includes a couple current players, guards, big men, players from back in the day and the superstars we

We've now covered the entire Eastern Conference amnesty clause candidates.  We're moving on to the West now, where we'll see which teams have the real albatross contracts, and which teams have been careful and prudent in building their roster (see: OKC).  The amnesty clause is going to benefit some teams more than others, and we'll see who
