Hasn't happened yet, there is a time frame when it can happen. Locke was talking on radio at about 9:45 after the jazz's pick. I think he believed no-one was listening and it would somehow stay a secret.
He said it, the other talking heads questioned him, and Locke doubled down saying that he had it from a source that it will happen, but Locke wasn't supposed to talk about it.
Anyone else listening can confirm. He also went on to talk about someone handing him 4 names of possible picks for jazz at #47 an hour before the draft, 2 were gone Murphy was the higher of the remaining, he also mentioned other moves that had been discussed but was told he would no longer have a job if it went out on twitter.
So our roster is now
Harris - Watson
Hayward - Burks
Millsap - Favors
Jefferson - Kanter
With pending contracts of Carroll, Tinsley, Mo Williams, Evans, and Murphy?
If we bring all those dudes in that is 13. I would assume we wouldn't bring in Tinsley if we got Mo Will though, so that would be 12. I would assume we would carry 13. Who else would we add?

Amnesty for Bell doesn't make sense, but as long as he is gone, that's all that matters.
Now if you look at our roster, everyone is an expiring contract besides Burks, Kanter, Favors and Hayward. So it makes sense to use it on the worst expiring contract you have right now which is Bell.
Comparitively Bell makes very litte and is expiring - I can't believe no one will take him.
BTW, while I'm intrigued by this news about amnesty on Bell - I'll believe it when I see it and not one second before.
KOC has already said he can see Harris and Mo playing at the same time.
Jefferson is the worst expiring contract. And someone would place a bid to get him, too.It actually makes perfect sense since according to the Amnesty clause:
Each team is allowed to waive a player without having their salary count toward the salary cap or luxury tax. One player can be waived prior to the start of any season through 2015–16, but each team is restricted to one "amnestied" player during that time. Only players signed prior to 2011–12 are eligible
