"The new CBA's amnesty clause could be the Knicks' salvation.

The Knicks are hampered during upcoming free agency because they are only willing to hand out one-year deals to protect 2012 cap space for the free-agent bonanza. Signing a player who gets through the new amnesty process may be an alternate solution.

Two names who have popped onto the Knicks' radar as potential amnesty casualties are Warriors 7-foot defensive center Andris Biedrins and Heat small-forward sharpshooter Mike Miller, whom the Knicks coveted during free agency in 2010."
