But I at least think the odds are better that they find a taker for Haywood than that they find one for Marion.
I agree. My thinking all along has been that the only way to sign both is if they find someone willing to take Haywood for no long term salary.

At the same time, every good game from Roddy and Ian gives us a slightly better shot of swinging a trade for Howard. If they both establish themselves as young rotation players and Odom rebuilds his stock to the point that you could flip him for more young assets then things might get interesting.
