That's true, although there's two aspects to trading for him that would be beneficial:
1. Cuban would save a ton of money by trading Haywood rather than amnestying him.
2. Trading for Dwight and then signing him in the summer would allow us to lock him up for 5 years instead of 4. Not to mention the fact that we'd have him for this season's stretch run as well.
