The Cavaliers are ready to use the amnesty clause to waive PG Baron Davis, according to Yahoo!.

Former Cavs beat writer Brian Windhorst writes that no final decision has been reached, but it seems like a sure thing. The move would clear the way for Kyrie Irving to take the point guard reins, and also clear minutes for Ramon Sessions. Bump Irving up your draft board and put him down as a candidate for Rookie of the Year.

1) Does the $14.5 trade exception have market value?

2) Why dump Baron to amnesty ?? you have to pay him anyway... not like we're going to do anything in the FA market.. so why not at least keep him on the roster and maybe get some use of him

1. it does if the cavs get an extension from the league since the lockout took about 7 days off of the TPE expiration date.

2. the cavs have come out and said they haven't decided on using the amnesty on him. reports that they were were premature. more than likely, they will arrange a buyout and let baron choose his location (maybe back to LA). but the cavs will need to clear another roster spot soon, so they will do something in the near future, assuming they don't trade sessions before 12/16.

This team is going to stink, especially if Davis gets the amnesty boot. At least it will be interesting watching to see how the two rookies develop. A top five lottery pick would be great in the 2012 draft. Truth be told, I expect the three bottom feeders from the West last season(Minn, Sac,Clips),to all improve with another year of experience for their young players. I'd be suprised if the Cavs were any higher than the #3 pick(before lottery).

Picking that high, they should be able to get their choice of the best #2 or 3 in the draft. Of course, if Thompson sucks, then they could also be looking at a 4, in a dfart that will be top heavy at the 4.

Lets just hope Sacramento has a good season and move into the top 16(unlikely) so the Cavs can get another first.

Davis out indefinitely with bulging disc (L 2-3). This comes from second opinion

this will go on all year...i was happy with baron davis's attitude after getting traded from LAC last year when coming to cleveland...i was expecting a full blown meltdown...but now that he has a bulging disc in his back i can see this issue just lingering all year long, even if baron is being 100% truthful or not about it...might as well cut bait with him now

Baron Davis' agent Todd Ramasar tells Y! Sports his client has a serious herniated disk injury and will be out 8-10 weeks minimum

AND gone

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Cavaliers have waived veteran point guard Baron Davis, using the NBA's new "amnesty clause" to clear space under the salary cap.
Davis, acquired in a trade last season from the Los Angeles Clippers, is now a free agent. He will be paid $28 million owed over the next two seasons. His release had been expected since training camp opened. The 32-year-old has not been able to practice because of a bulging back disc.
The injury had no impact on the Cavs' decision to release Davis. With Davis gone, coach Byron Scott can now turn his offense over to rookie Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 overall draft pick.
General manager Chris Grant has thanked Davis for his contributions to the team and called him an "absolute professional."
