Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ey...rendan-haywood
Should the Spurs participate in the upcoming bidding process?

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Can the Spurs do the same with Bonner, please?

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
I'll take him for a 1 year contract for the vet min... let Cubes eat up the rest of the contract...

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Um tired as fuck I'd 6'9 muthafuckas! He's 7ft, sign him up. He can guard Byumn or Howard.
-
Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
I wouldn't mind another 7ft Center on our roster..pop can mix and match lineups for different teams...Haywood Duncan, Duncan Diaw, Haywood Diaw when Duncan goes to bench. Our only shot against the okc's and mia's is to slow the game down....we will NOT outrun and gun them. Haywood is long and can rebound...we don't need any offense from him
-
Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Even if they wanted to bid on him, the Spurs are way over the cap, so they're not allowed to.
-
Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Spurs have a vet minimum sized trade exception from trading TJ to the Warriors. That's all they can bid. Chances of a vet min bid getting Haywood are almost zero.

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
It worked out well for us the last time we picked up a player Dallas amnesty'd.

exactly... not sure what the vet min looks like nowadays, but if Cubes foots $20+ million and the guy plays for us, I'll take it... plus you make it a 1 year deal so if he ends up at the end of the bench, no big deal

Chances are he won't make it to free agency. The team that wins the bidding will have him for three years.

Mel, teams over the cap can bid on amnestied players by using exceptions?

Trade exceptions. Learned that from Bruno a few days ago.

So you can use Trade Exceptions? David Aldridge just told me no :lol
-
Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
I thought you could use TE's too, even if over the cap, for amnestied players so now I am confused.

Logically, I wouldn't think a team could use a TE to get an amnestied player; the player isn't being traded. Looks like Larry Coon will probably be the arbiter here.

Maybe Bruno was wrong. Coon doesn't mention TEs in his section on the amnesty:
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.

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
I looked at LC's CBA and you can bid on a waivered player using a TE if it's the normal waiver process. It appears that if they are on waviers via being amnestied, you have to have cap space with no exceptions.

It is a crazy crazy world. A guy gets paid 27 million dollars to NOT play basketball for a certain team.
I work my ass off and get paid like 45 thousand a year.
Pretty fucked up the cash that gets thrown around.

That's fine as long as you acknowledge that an NBA franchise grosses $100s of millions and only has to hire maybe 100 people.

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Not sure I am all that afraid yet, but if the Mavs keep signing every decent amnesty cast off then maybe.
-
Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Haywood is not old, has talent, is big and has been unmotivated in Dallas. Coach Pop would light a fire under his ass and Id love to have him as a Spur (but from what Im reading, not much of a chance.)

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
i would not mind at all with haywood as the fourth big.

Who cares? It's not like they're going to contend. they'll probably get the 7yh or 5th seed again and get bounced in the first round. Brand isn't very good anymore anyways.

It looks like it. I should have looked more closely because it's tricky: a trade exception can be used to claim a player from waivers but not to claim a part of his contract from waivers when he amnestied.

Haywood, 32, is owed about $35 million in guaranteed money by the Mavericks through 2015. By using the amnesty, the Mavs open more cap space

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
So, if we amnesty Bonner, we will be quite a bit below the cap to make a play? I don't know where we're sitting.

That pretty much means you're a loser.
If you bitch about your salary, go get yourself an education, network your pathetic ass and maybe then you'll get a shot at a higher salary.

He's done.

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
Pass. I'd rather stick with our roster.

Re: Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood
if he signs for the minimum, (which is the only number the Spurs could offer anyway) fine.
maybe he wants to pull a Finley and tell Cuban "take this, you pay me 9 million $ per year to watch me play for your most hated rival"
