The Milwaukee Bucks have requested waivers on center Calvin Booth, General Manager Larry Harris announced today. Booth will be designated as the team?s amnesty player as allowed under the new collective bargaining agreement.

The amnesty provision allows a team to release a player and remove his contract amount from the team?s salary cap for purposes of calculating the luxury tax. The Bucks will be responsible for the remaining years of Booth?s contract and he is free to sign with another team.

Booth was acquired by Milwaukee on February 24, 2005, along with Alan Henderson and an undisclosed amount of cash from Dallas in exchange for Keith Van Horn. The 29-year-old appeared in 17 games with the Bucks last season, averaging 2.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game.
