Amnestied with 3 guaranteed years on the contract. Would it be worth making a $2-3M/year claim on him?
Im pretty sure Asik will get matched. We need a Center. Even if we are able to make a deal for Howard/Bynum, I think Haywood would be a decent backup.
I think Haywood is worth a $2M waiver claim, but he wouldn't make too much sense on this team. Let the young guys play.
After using the amnesty on Haywood and signing Kaman, how much cap room do the Mavs have as of right now?
Yeah, Haywood would keep us from sucking balls. He's so talented he barely made it off the Mavs bench last year.
Haywood is not going to come in and make Rockets contenders. We would still suck with him but atleast we would have someone to backup DMo so we dont play him excessive minutes.
I would rather put Zoran Dragic at the 5 than pay Brendan Haywood salary for a season that will only serve to develop young players.
Leadership is the only thing he could bring that would bring this team value. The question is, is he a good leader or will he just come here to collect a check and play the post by default.
