BREAKING: The NBA used its amnesty clause on the Charlotte Bobcats early this morning in a shocking move. The amnesty clause states the league can drop one team while paying its salary without having that payment b counted under the new salary cap. While shocked by the timing, many analysts see this as a wise move.

"We could all be Juwanna Mann's if we believe it"
The Bobcats can sign with Turkey or, pending a good showing at training camp, the WNBA. The Bobcats were definitely on thin ice this season and looked like an amnesty possibility, however, more expensive, useless franchises such as the Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors seemed like more logical candidates for release; however the league saw rebound potential in those franchises.
Not the Bobcats.
“They were definitely a franchise that brought little value to our roster as we understood it,” said commissioner David Stern. “We would like to thank the Bobcats for their service and wish them the best of luck.” Other analysts were not as forgiving: “the Bobcats had to go. They were a complete waste of roster space!” “They are draining the entire league with their play.” “Everything about them is horrible, with their fat gut, inability to hustle if team is sinking, slow, ineffective defense and that beard… I’m sorry you said Baron Davis correct?”
UPDATE: The Bobcats have signed with China.
