Possibly, if you believe that getting rid of Bargnani is straight-up addition by subtraction. Because amnestying him doesn't help the team out in any sort of salary cap sense. They'd still be over the cap and stuck using exceptions for any free agent moves. Bargnani might be more useful to hold onto as filler for future potential trades. They might do better to trade him for someone else's crap, hope that they can polish up said crap enough to resell it for something else down the road. Or get the most talented big they can acquire, regardless of whether that's a bad contract, shoot for a 4-5 seed in the east, and take it from there.
I don't know, there are a bunch of options, and none of them are what I'd call good options.
edit:
Also, St Pats, in regards to Kleiza, he was vigorously denying those injury reports today and saying that he's maybe a week or two away from playing again. But I do agree, it makes by far the most sense to amnesty LK.
