Re: Brendan Haywood Traded to Cleveland

Take on $2 million... for a 2nd round pick? You can buy 2nd round picks for $2 million. What am I missing here? Did Griff just get swindled by MJ?

Re: Brendan Haywood Traded to Cleveland

Maybe Haywood will be used to make $ match in a trade.

Re: Brendan Haywood Traded to Cleveland

Maybe he wanted to start and end his career with a team he never played a game for?

If we want LeBron, get rid of him.

If we want LeBron, get rid of him.

Haywood is washed up. He won't be on the team. It was a salary dump for Charlotte... makes no sense for Cleveland. This money is guaranteed and there is no way he is taking a penny less.

Re: Brendan Haywood Traded to Cleveland

If Haywood doesn't get bought out this year, his 2015-16 salary is $10M unguaranteed fully if waived by 8/1/15. That's HUGE TRADE BAIT

It should be noted the Cavs themselves haven't confirmed the Powell/Haywood trade. Only the Hornets are reporting this.
