[外電] Brendan Haywood, Rick Carlisle clash
http://tinyurl.com/2flhdgf
The agent for Dallas Mavericks center Brendan Haywood told ESPNDallas.com
that his client was suspended for Friday's game in San Antonio after a heated
discussion during the morning shootaround with coach Rick Carlisle.
Agent Andy Miller said Saturday in a phone interview that the dispute was a
"one-time isolated discussion" that had nothing to do with Haywood's
diminished role on the team in recent weeks.
Sources with knowledge of the incident confirmed that account Saturday,
telling ESPNDallas.com that the Mavericks decided to send Haywood back to
Dallas after the shootaround and hold him out of an eventual 103-94 victory
over the rival San Antonio Spurs because of what was deemed an over-the-line
outburst directed at Carlisle.
One source insisted that the clash -- described by Carlisle as a violation of
team rules -- was indeed more "strategic" and focus-related based on what was
happening during the shootaround and not about playing time, with Haywood's
angry reaction to his coach's criticism leading to the suspension.
"It happened at shootaround and had nothing to do with his role on the team,"
Miller said. "My understanding is he and Rick always had a very good
relationship and [Friday's] misunderstanding doesn't change that."
Haywood was virtually promised the Mavs' starting center spot in July when he
re-signed with the Mavericks for six years in a deal that could be worth up
to $55 million.
But Dallas subsequently acquired Tyson Chandler, who has anchored the
Mavericks' improved defense and just put together two of his finest
back-to-back offensive performances in road wins over Oklahoma City and San
Antonio. Chandler is also widely regarded by teammates as the Mavs' new
emotional leader.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who has spent the bulk of Thanksgiving week with
his family on a vacation away from the team, declined comment Friday night
when he was asked about specifics.
"We're keeping it all internal," Cuban said via e-mail.
It was thus not immediately known whether Haywood was suspended with or
without pay. A one-game suspension without pay, using the league's formula of
1/110th of a player's annual salary, would potentially come at a cost of
$62,727 for Haywood.
Haywood, though, is expected to resume his new role as Chandler's backup
Saturday night when the Mavericks play host to the Miami Heat, who earlier
this week signed longtime Mavs center Erick Dampier.
Haywood is averaging 3.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game.
