The Lakers are in their final window to use their one-time amnesty, from July 10 to 16.

Does that worry Metta World Peace, who could be waived by the team to save roughly $15 million?

The Lakers have yet to decide on if they’ll use their amnesty but many were fooled by World Peace who has mastered the art of “trolling” fans on Twitter.
