If Howard really wants to win, he needs to demand chicago and only that.

Well, the Spurs will have the money without losing any significant piece, that's why they are a really good option if it wasn't for this big market bug players seem to have these days.

They're okay

Duncan and Manu will be gone in a couple years

^This. I want duncan to play forever but that's a pipe dream. We have nothing really appealing to Howard long term.

Nah, Duncan and Manu can be above average role players for the next 3, 4 and maybe even 5 years.

I wouldn't say above average but they will deffiantly be servicable, but Howard needs someone
who can hold his hand and step up with the game on the line. Manu and Duncan won't be able to do that anymore.

Manu will be a borderline all-star at least for the next two years, Parker could/should be a borderline all-star for at least the next 4, 5 years. Duncan like I said before could be a pretty good role player for at least the next 3 years. Then you have guys like Splitter, Leonard, Blair, Green, Neal and maybe Anderson.

If Howard signs with the Spurs he assures himslef to be on a compe ive team for at least the next five years.

Manu's 34 and getting injured more frequently, it's gonna be hard for him to step up consistently. Parker will be good for the next 4-5 years. I'm not saying they won't be contenders with pop and Howard they can easily make it to the WCF. The thing is I don't really see anyone who makes me think "oh this guy might guy off and we're ed if that happens". Pretty much every champion has had that guy.
