Haywood knows he's trade bait

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired center Brendan Haywood in the summer from the Charlotte Hornets for his ability to provide depth at the center position and be a trade chip. Haywood is signed through 2015-16 and next season his $10,522,500 salary is not guaranteed until Aug. 1. For that reason, Haywood is aware that he could be traded at any time and it's not something that worries him.
