Haywood contract clash heads to court in Seattle bid
AP Seattle. Spencer Haywood seeks to play for the Seattle SuperSonics while the Denver Nuggets owner Sam Schulman pushes to keep him. U S District Court Judge Warren Ferguson will decide Jan 8 on whether Denver has a valid contract or if the NBA can block Haywood from playing for Seattle. Haywood, 21, left college for a 350000 signing with the Rockets and later earned a six year 16 million extension. He says deferred pay would amount to involuntary servitude if he must play ten more years.
