Dont Hate Miami
Have questions about how the Heat can pick up Carlos Boozer now that the bulls have Amnestied him? We found a Heat cap expert online that answered lots of fan questions about the process and what’s possible given the Heat’s current situation.
Heat needs cap space – not exceptions – to bid. Must bid at least $1.4M. He’ll surely be claimed. Perhaps for significantly more than that.

If you want me to be realistic, I’d say he won’t clear waivers. RT @AustinManey Do we have a realistic shot at him if he clears waivers?
— Albert Random (@AlbertRandom1) July 15, 2014
Nope. His cap hold is $20.6M. RT @JCFSports Would it be possible to wait on signing Bosh, bid on Boozer, and then sign Bosh to go over cap?

48 hours. RT @navarrete_al How long does the Amnesty waiver process last?

5:00 PM Thursday. RT @jrod4444 @navarrete_al, so is that earliest we will know about Boozer? Or can news break sooner?

Not Boozer’s choice unless he somehow clears waivers. RT @navarrete_al Hoping we already have Deng recruiting his fellow former running mate

Could give min salary in your scenario. He'd already be getting nearly $17M. RT @iLuv_Miami_FL if Boozer clears waivers, can we afford him?

If anything, surely not enough to win. RT @_BigDworldwide_ what the most Miami can bid on boozer?
— Albert Random (@AlbertRandom1) July 16, 2014
Team with worse record. RT @kristofer_h What happens if the two highest Boozer bids are exactly the same? Where does he go?

So based on Albert’s breakdown, it doesn’t seem likely that Miami will end up getting Boozer on the low, but, it is always possible the way things in the NBA go. Do you think he would be a good fit for the team with his buddy Deng already signed?
