Mavs to use amnesty on Haywood

Mavs are persuing elton brand also! en

[Mel_13]

Mavs will get Brand.

Mavs will get Brand.

Uh oh. Look out now. Kamman, Dirk and Brand ? Give 'em room.

[Knoxxx]

Not sure I am all that afraid yet, but if the Mavs keep signing every decent amnesty cast off then maybe.

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.)

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.

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

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.

Would love to have Haywood tbh...

[Spurtacus]

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

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.

[lakerhaterade]

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 ed up the cash that gets thrown around.

That pretty much means you're a loser.

If you 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 32 and past whatever prime he once exhibited.

He's done.

[shorttotry]

Pass. I'd rather stick with our roster.

[mountainballer]

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"
