Metta can't guard anyone either. Been there, done that, no thanks.
Pass on Ron Artest too.

I highly doubt he clears waivers but I'd love to finally buy an Artest Knicks jersey.

Chill.
Let the Knicks have him.
yo i legit forgot all about that.I still can see him signing with the Rockets. Dude was already big-upping the Rockets moves and saying they now have two top 5 centers with Asik and Dwight. They have a need for him too. Need a tough vet like him and some depth at SF/PF.

Plus, I don't think teams at or over the cap can bid on amnestied players, so that would take us out, even if the Clips had any interest (which I sincerely doubt).

When a player gets amnestied, they get their money no matter what. It will just no longer count against their salary cap.
Teams competing for their talents, get to bid on the player, and the player goes to the highest bidder. Bidding has to comply with salary cap rules.
If there are no bidders, that player is free to sign wherever he feels like. I believe each time they sign though, the new team pays into some of that salary they are owed, lowering the cost for the team who amnestied the player.
In the case of Andray Blatche, he's wanted to spite the Wizards; so instead of asking for a team to sign him to a specific deal, he goes for the lowest price possible, making the Wizards continue to pay his remaining salary
