Rather have RJ than that pot addicted lockerroom cancer J-Ho.
I only wished the spurs Fo's negotiation skills was as good as their scouting.

It's totally medicinal though. Docs prescribed it for the side effects of treating lockerroom cancer.
at all the people ragging on JHo's "pot addiction".
For the record, more than half of the guys in the NBA, including the Spurs, probably smoke pot in the offseason. They just aren't dumb enough to get caught with it.
, I'd be highly surprised if Tim Duncan doesn't light it up when he can. Laid back guy? Plays a lot of video games? Comes from the Virgin Islands? Yeahhh....
Not to mention that like 80% of the people on this board probably toke, or aren't adverse to it...

Can't disagree with a lot of that. The one big difference is that Howard was stupid enough to be so outspoken about it. Between that and his performance, he reminds me of Ricky Williams.
I'm still excited... I've always wanted the guy on our team. We should have been the ones to draft him.
LOL. Well, as long as it's for the record.
This.

This I agree with 100%. Like I said....doing it is one thing, being dumb enough to get caught (or actually hang it out there) is another altogether.
It's fair to worry about Howard's intelligence, or candidness, or even the fact that he could face suspension if he were to get caught in similar dealings....but it's foolish to consider him a problem just on the lone fact that he smokes / has smoked pot before. People need to come out of the comfy little bubble that they are living in.
It's not just that he smokes. It's all the other dumb he does. Throwing a party on a night when the coach specifically asked everyone to get some rest. Also some video he was on that had to do with the National Anthem or something. Can't remember. But he has a history of being stupid.
LOL. Something about the phrasing "for the record" followed by the ambiguous "more than half probably" made me doubt the scientific research behind your statment.Book it!
I agree with Dex. It's not the pothead thing that repels Howard away from me. I know gnsf likes to throw out the Spurs = Class stuff but let's be real. Alot of people smoke pot.
My problem with J-Ho is simply his behavior. Had J-Ho been the one in Richard Jefferson's position, the thought of him being amnestied might have made him pull a Lamar Odom. At least RJ is acting professional about it right now. J-Ho would have been selling out the team by now.
Also Howard is much more injury prone than RJ. Granted, having RJ off the floor would be better but paying Howard to only play on average 50 games per season isn't worth it. We don't if Howard has anything left in the tank at this point.
Here's an article about him being too hungover to play a game...

Choosing between Josh Howard and Richard Jefferson is like choosing between a punch in the face or a kick in the nuts.

Ahh, change my mind again....
I'm just not sure!
The guy turned into a locker room cancer in Dallas. Although he had talent/physical ability his continuing strange behavior and comments led them to get rid of him.
Not to mention his frequent disappearing in the second half of games. Seemed like he'd put up great first half numbers and then was nowhere to be found during crunch time.
So he is pretty much Jefferson with a drug problem...
if he can stay healthy "IF" he might be more attractive and for less cash then rj?!?! i say go for it
Jesus wept....
J-Ho is just as bad as RJ...maybe even worse....
Spurs front office and Pop just plain suck now...have sucked for years...
Just let Leonard play...and play him a lot...he will be just as good or as bad as these two morons...
I honestly would rather just go with and throw Leonard to the wolves and cram his game experience in as much as possible. However with Pop in charge rookies playing allot of minutes just will not happen.
This team is full of vets I have no idea why Pop could not just have the rookie out there to make mistakes and learn from them, and him being on the floor with the vets would be very beneficial for him. It is proven that a rookie can learn on the job, and not just on the sideline.
I just guess he needs to get over himself first...
Okay.... lets just clear some things up here. RJ needs a pass first PG to thrive. In our system, his passive personality disallows him to fit here. Howard playing with Parker and Manu would be sick. Howard isn't going to be pussy in the playoffs either.
And your judgement of the FO is moronic. We've never signed big FA, and that's because they don't want to come here. Barry and amnesty paid, old Finely were the best signings we've had. Buford's success came in the draft.
Leonard should be good, if we gave Hill away. He'll get minutes. James Anderson will have his chance too. Stop spouting bull .
He's already proven to be a pussy in the playoffs. Have you even seen him play over time? He's not an assertive banger that's going to be a presence on the boards. If he's all that's left to get, then fine. But realize that he is a dumb problem case that from time to time will remind you how much potential he squandered. And that's the best case.
The Spurs never have the money to sign big free agents. The last time they did, the big free agents resigned for more money.
I think the last big free agent signing we have was in 2000 when we had money to outspend other teams.
