Cavs want to move him and his non guarantee contract. Wonder if Danny should call and see if we could help Cleveland and get more cap room for next year.

If true, I'd be very surprised. A non-guaranteed contract as big as that (in 2015) is a super trade chip.

Yeah, I highly doubt the Cavs want to move him.  He's got a huge amount of value as a non-guaranteed contract next summer, and has a pretty low cap hit this season.  Would love for the C's to get him for contract purposes alone, but I'm not getting my hopes up at all.

Agreed.  That contract is their best opportunity to significantly add to their team.

The source material doesn't really suggest that the Cavs are shopping him right now:

he'd match up nicely with Wallace's deal.  I think the Cavs could use a defensive 3 like him ;)

Assuming that Love and Lebron remain in Cleveland, the Cavs will be over the cap next season.  They plan on using his unguaranteed contract like a trade exception to absorb a contract from another team.

Imagine that Denver's season gets even worse and they blow it up, including trading Javale McGee and Aaron Afflalo to Cleveland for Haywood's contract, Dion Waiters, and whatever picks they can get out of it.

Haywood's contract is extremely valuable. Sure we have assets but we also have plenty of money coming off the books. It wouldn't make sense to use the assets we have just to net more cap room when we have trouble attracting free agents anyway.

Cleveland won't be trading Haywood for young assets and picks they'll be looking to add depth to their lineup. Afflalo is an interesting name to be brought up in this scenario and something I'd watch.

It's moot, because we're not getting Haywood.  But the point of such a contract on the Celtics is that they could then get a max free agent via sign-and-trade sending back little or no guaranteed money, as opposed to an expiring like Wallace, which greatly reduces the compensation to the other team in a sign-and-trade.  Using a sign-and-trade instead of cap room lets you go over the cap and keep other exceptions like the MLE, the BAE, and the two medium-sized trade exceptions we have.  It also lets you use Bird rights in case Green opts out and they want him back.
