Sixers owner Josh Harris is open to using the amnesty clause, but only if the replacement player is a “game changer.”

“For the right person, yes,” Harris said. “Those are the kinds of things that if you do it and you do it wrong it puts you way back. You’ve got to be very careful but if it was a game changer we would consider that. It’s not something we’re afraid of. We’re a deep-pocketed, committed ownership group. But we’re going to be sensible about it. We’re not going to do that for anyone. It would have to be for someone really good.”

Elton Brand, who has one-year, $18.1 million remaining on his contract after this season, could be a candidate for amnesty.
