Josh Howard has agreed to terms with Utah, source says
Appears to be a done deal per ESPN
Well, at least now we know for sure. There isn't anyone out there the Spurs were likely really targeting enough to drop RJ. I called Anthony Parker a while ago, seems likely.
Parker has signed with the Cavs, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.
Spin: The 36-year-old could challenge for the Cavs' starting shooting guard job. Daniel Gibson and Parker should fight over the job in camp.
Not that Howard wouldve been a great pickup. But its pretty sad when Utah is a more enticing FA destination than San Antonio. The city must really have a boring, unattractive, reputation amongst NBA players (blacks).
This off season is a failure at the moment. I wonder if RC's off season troubles had anything to do with the shuffling of feet? This one stings the most due to the position the Spurs are in with the Big 3's time coming to a close and the need to do something to give them a fighter's chance.
It looks like Howard signed a 1 year deal. Doesn't seem likely the Spurs really made an offer especially because I can't believe it would be more than 5-6M for that year.
Thank baby Jesus. I'd rather have RJ.
I'm guessing the fo will amnesty rj next year and have enough room to resign TD to a reasonable contract and go after a decent fFA.
Not only do you suck at guaranteeing something but also you also suck at spelling guarantee.
Yes, because no FA has ever signed with the Spurs.
Stop reading too much into stuff.
Spurs probably offered less money or maybe never even made an offer (word only came from Howard's camp which was called out for lying).
In your opinion, who are the top 2 FA's the FO has signed since 2007?Yes, because no FA has ever signed with the Spurs.

They've never had the money to really sign anyone. But if you ask that question, I'd say, Dice and Drew Gooden.
Thank God. This guy did us a favor by signing with Utah.
I'd like to believe that it's the money, but did the big 3's salaries go up so much after 2007 that all the Spurs could afford was "7 teams in <3 years" Gooden and 65 year old McDyess?
I understand that as a franchise, the Spurs have been as successful as a small market team could probably be. It just seems that it's becoming painfully clear that this FO doesn't have the mojo previously seen in the the pre-2007 FO. Spurs were still a small market team back then too.
The more I thought about it, the more I wouldve rather kept RJ than get Josh Howard anyway. On another note, Utah must have some pretty good weed if J-Ho signed there....
The two things I'm wondering:
1. How much did the Jazz end up paying him?
2. Did the Spurs really give him an offer?
I personally would not want either one of them on this team damnitThe more I thought about it, the more I wouldve rather kept RJ than get Josh Howard anyway. On another note, Utah must have some pretty good weed if J-Ho signed there....
Theres a certain type of player that signs here. Theyre either internationals or great character/older guys...Barry, Dice, Mason Jr, Finley, Horry, K. Thomas, etc. Regardless of whether theres money available or not, the typical and almost always more skilled NBA player rarely chooses San Antonio. Like I said J-Ho wouldnt have made much of a difference here but the fact that he chose Utah of all places when the Spurs had plans to possibly amnesty RJ is kind of sad. Pretty apparent that this city is not a very attractive destination.Yes, because no FA has ever signed with the Spurs.

This didnt just start in 07', its always been like this even when the Spurs were racking up trophies. The FO's mojo has always been drafting and uncovering young talent not signing big FAs. Although that has more to do with San Antonio not being a desirable destination than with them being inept.I understand that as a franchise, the Spurs have been as successful as a small market team could probably be. It just seems that it's becoming painfully clear that this FO doesn't have the mojo previously seen in the the pre-2007 FO. Spurs were still a small market team back then too.
Kind of greedy to call it a failure since they won 2 championships afterwards but the summer after 2003 was a huge disappointment imo...with better FA pick-ups were possibly talking three peats during that period. We had enough money to sign a max FA and pretty much only got Horry out of it. Hedo was a complete failure and Rasho was serviceable at best and eventually traded.
Pretty apparent that players go for money and not cities.Pretty apparent that this city is not a very attractive destination.
Cities only really factors in when the money's pretty much even from the teams offering it.
Either the money or playing time. It rarely comes down to whether the destination is "desirable".
Spurs have been cap strapped and rotation set for yes. Other teams not so much.
Jesus, you contradict yourself.
Bottom line, the Spurs have been a consistent winner with a consistent and set roster since 2003.
Dallas hasn't been a FA "hot spot" either, they've relied on drafts and trades not being players in free agency.
Stop reading so much into things.
Finley and Neal, if you're not counting our own players. Gooden was ing awful. Dice was OK, but had less left in the tank when he got here than Fin. The only mistake they made was re-signing Finley. He was a corpse at the end of his first deal.
