NBA's 30 teams just notified that Brendan Haywood has been claimed on waivers by Bobcats

Solid pickup. Great size to backup Biz.

EDIT:

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Mavericks will pay remaining $6.34M of Haywood's salary this season and $25.2M of guaranteed money left on his contract.

I like!

Now we just have to amnesty Diop and sign Scola....I like our summer so far

[superb1]

you beat me to it. big man saga settled?

[Bosnian-Bobcats-Fan]

not a bad signing i just wonder how he'll be in this new up tempo system...but it gives us size, wonder if he will start at C and biz at pf? we'll see

[captaincrunk]

Well... at least we get him on a fresh contract?

[Black]

Bonnell seems to think he will start. I don't know if that means Biz comes off the bench, or slides down to power forward.

[Zoolander]

Yeah he should proably start. It looked like Biz was playing PF yesterday. I know the two aren't related but, I'd start Biz at PF.

[Bosnian-Bobcats-Fan]

i think biz would move to the starting 4, we don't need to sign anyone else......we wont make the playoffs either way.....like my friend mcbeastie said on twitter just keep the cap space no need for scola or humphires

@rick_bonnell In place of Bismack? Or slide Bismack to PF?

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell
@QC_RB It's competition. About time they had some.

I think him calling Haywood the presumptive starter was premature. Competition sounds more accurate. Love this move, love this offseason.

The competition thing makes more sense. Now, if Jamison or Scola are the next targets, I'd be willing to bet that Diop gets the amnesty boot.
