if they sign him today so that they don't lose the trade exception, then they would have another five days to use the amnesty claus on him
@ ProjectGSX: i think many teams would gamble, b/c as you mention, 38/6 is not that much for a player like SAR who is in his prime.
otherwise the nets are burnt childs b/c they lost big money when they gambled on Mourning. (and he was also signed b/c kidd wanted him on the team)
