I can tell you with 99.999999999 per cent certainty that, at this moment, using the amnesty clause to get rid of forward Andrea Bargnani has never been discussed at the highest level of the Toronto Raptors.

It doesn’t get them below the cap (it would get them below the tax level but there are other means available to do that) so it’s not like you can say goodbye to him and find some of equal value on the free market.
