First of all, let's remember that 2015 for Haywood is a team option. That's important.
Secondly, I still feel like amnestying him is unlikely. Obviously this new CBA changes things a bit, but his contract is perfectly reasonable for a starting center, and I think there are teams that will take on his contract in a salary dump.
Could be wrong, but right now I'd bet on him being traded (assuming they sign Tyson).
And no, I don't think Ian will be slotted as the backup center. Someone else will be acquired.
