Teams be signing people like crazy today son!!! The latest free agent to be visited by the Money Fairy is Brendan Haywood to the tune of five years, $55 million — that’s a lot of fairy dust.
The Dallas Mavericks originally signed Haywood as a rental player in a trade with the Wizards to make a deep playoff run and got bounced in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs. So yeah, that move really didn’t work out.
Despite that sucky finish, the Cubester aka Mark Cuban must have liked what he saw in Haywood leading up to the playoffs because he backed up an armor truck and dumped a ton of money on Haywood’s lawn. Haywood had aight numbers after arriving in Big D posting averaging 8.1 points and 7.4 rebounds in 26.5 minutes and all those totals dipped in the playoffs.
If you want to say that Haywood is getting over paid, I won’t stop you.
