Illyasove for 10mil is too much. He broke out yes, but I cant see us paying more than 8 mil. I guess it depends on where the salary cap is.

The 76ers have elected to use their amnesty clause on Elton Brand, according to sources.
Brand has one season at $18 million left on his contract, which will come off Philadelphia's cap.
The 76ers must wait until July 11th to officially amnesty Brand.
Brand will go on waivers and become an unrestricted free agent if he goes unclaimed.

If no team makes a bid he can clear waivers and becomes a free agent (with Phili paying his complete salary (but over a longer time - but that doesn't matter to us)). I doubt he clears waivers as he is still a pretty productive player and above average defensive player. It wouldn't be a bad idea to put in a (lowball) offer.
No way in hell he can play sf; he can only be used in a big man rotation.

But amnesty is different from the normal waiver process in that it allows teams to make either a full or partial waiver claim. Full waiver claims have precedence over partial waiver claims -- if one team makes a full waiver claim and another makes a partial waiver claim, the team making the full waiver claim is awarded the player. If multiple teams make full waiver claims, the player is awarded to the team with the worst record.
A partial waiver claim is a bid for a single dollar amount. If no team makes a full waiver claim, the player is awarded to the team submitting the highest bid in a partial waiver claim. If multiple teams bid the same amount, the player is awarded to the team with the worst record. When a team is awarded a player via a partial waiver claim, it pays the following portion of the player's salary:
The amount of their bid, spread pro rata across all remaining guaranteed years of the player's contract
All non-base compensation, such as bonuses
100% of the player's salary in non-guaranteed seasons
If instead the above player's salary was 100% guaranteed in all three seasons, the minimum bid amount would be $4,200,178 -- the sum of the minimum salaries for a 10+ year veteran for those three seasons.
In order to submit a bid for a partial waiver claim, the bidding team must have cap room equivalent to the portion of their bid that would be charged to team salary in that season, plus the amount of any likely bonuses (see question number 72) for that season. If necessary, teams can create this cap room by waiving non-guaranteed players, but not by making trades. The team must make the cap room available immediately upon being awarded the amnesty claim.

I don't think we have the cap space for Brand even as a partial waiver claim. We'd have to amnesty someone or renounce the TPE I think.. Brand is a good player, but not sure he's a typical 5. We have too many PF's as it is. I'd rather go after a solid SF with any money we have left over after Lowry/Fields, and then get a minimum contract guy for our backup center.
