Yup. I'd take Howard if it makes RJ go away.

Josh Howard is slowing everything down even more than it has to be. Just hurry up and pick a damn place so the Spurs could move on.
I heard a comedian say it's like looking for a girlfriend after a nuclear attack.
"Well... that one's not too badly burned."
This is sort of akin to keeping Finley after it was pretty clear that he'd stopped giving a . At least Howard has some experience, but can he do anything Bruce Bowen couldn't do at this point? I'm serious here. Seeing very little upside. If the Spurs want to get rid of RJ that bad, then just get rid of him. How many times do we have to learn this lesson that at some point you just accept the mistake and stop throwing money at it.
Josh is going to ponder his options while he smokes a big fat joint...
Heh. In the offseason, Josh does EVERYTHING slowly.Josh is going to ponder his options while he smokes a big fat joint...
Then he definitely picks San Antonio over Salt Lake City...Josh is going to ponder his options while he smokes a big fat joint...
JOSH HOWARD, SF (FREE AGENT -- UNRESTRICTED)
No projection | Player card
• Two-way forward who has battled knee problems. Athleticism on the wane.
• Decent midrange shooter and rebounder. Handles ball well for size.
• Has length to defend. Not a troublemaker but flaky persona a concern.
I still have no idea why Washington signed Howard; he played only 18 games after coming off knee surgery and looked much worse for the wear. Over the past three seasons he's now played only a total of 105 contests, so durability is very much at the forefront of concerns going forward.
The encouraging numbers from Howard's small sample of games suggest that rust appears to be a bigger problem than health. Howard's rebound rate was very strong, his block and steal rates matched those from his late Dallas years, and he was able to create shots at his usual clip; he just missed them all. But it's very unlikely that Howard would shoot 35.8 percent over a full season, especially with the benefit of a training camp. While he is 31, hasn't been able to stay healthy and is considered a bit "off," he might be a good low-cost gamble for the right team. That team, if you haven't guessed yet, is not the Wizards.
Josh Howards player profile by Hollinger. To his credit he was dead on for the spurs players profiles.
Then it means he'll make his decision by next August.Josh is going to ponder his options while he smokes a big fat joint...

Would James Posey be worse than Howard?
I'll be happy when all this speculation is over with. It's tiring.
all 3 current ex wakeys all have one thing in common, bone on bone knees
Amnesty deadline is in 4 days correct? Preseason starts in five days. I'm in the camp that thinks the Spurs are going to go with what they have.
J-Ho looks pretty healthy in the video on this page:

Considering the alternatives, I'm reluctantly on the Josh Howard bandwagon. But I would try to get him on a one year contract with the promise that he'll start and have the ability to increase his value for another dip into free agency next summer. Motivate Howard with money and it wouldn't be too surprising to see him produce something like 12 and 5.
poor druggie can't even run up and down the court, play ball, or make millions because of his addiction, bud is killing him slowly. oh wait...
I think you may be overestimating Howard. He strikes me as the kind of guy who has made all the money he thinks he needs and isn't going to put down the joint and bust his ass for anything.
Just because his athleticism allowed him to make some money in the NBA doesn't mean he isn't a pot head that will never stop being one. It's like this is a "Legalize It" board...LOL
he looked good in that video, better than rj
i rather have jho than rj
so sign him already
This is GOOD news right?
I mean we sign JHo, we amnesty , and when JHo goes down with a season ending injury 20 games in, we could finally plug Kawhi into the starting Lineup.
Right? Right!??!!
Then again... what if Pop decides to plug Bonner in at the 3 after such incident
This move scares me.
of the options, gotta go with him
Choosing between Josh Howard and Richard Jefferson is like choosing between a punch in the face or a kick in the nuts.
Is Jason Terry available?
