They approach 100%.
You call paying a guy 50 million dollars to play basketball for the compe or stabbing in the back ??, damn I guess I wouldn't mind getting stabbed in the back...
About the jho thing, yeah I would be insulted as well if I was him, he is not worth max money, but also isn't worth the money he was offered... that's pretty old news though. I still don't see Cuban letting him go though, he might have to pay a slight higher price for him, but i really don't see him leaving Dallas, SPECIALLY not for SA.
They approach 100%.
Josh Howard sucks. He's a timeout calling moron with braces.
Haha I'm pretty lukewarm about Josh Howard, but that's just mean and funny.
steve nash was a fa
but he ran the offer that he received by mr mark cuban before he signed
had cuban matched he would have stayed
Howard isn't going anywhere...

"Howard Update
Not that I claim to be a guy who breaks stories, but in talking with someone with intimate knowledge of the Josh Howard v. Mavericks situation, I am now much more confident that something will get done before Halloween. It appears that the Mavericks realize how important it is to Josh (given all of his public comments) and they surely realize how important he is to them. Therefore, with only so much wiggle room to discuss anyway, I fully expect this extension in a 5 year/$40 million range will be going down before opening night. I feel much better now."
LMAO!! There's not a Spurs fan out there that wouldn't have him on their team...
Do you really need to crosspost? The NBA forum isn't that far away.
LMAO...the crossposting police
Just posting the info here to keep some Spurs fan's pants from going too crazy over the idea of having JHo on their team...
JHo's coming to the Spurs?
Better to be that than a flopping, foul/TO-with-few-seconds-left-on-the-clock moron like ginobili is. Except floppobili is older and supposevely "smarter" and has a "better basketball IQ"... and he sucks so bad, how come you didn't have an answer for him in the PO's ? mm... interesting
Shouldn't this be in the "Didn't Get it Done in the Finals" forum?
P.S. -- props to JHo for that time that he was the widely-held favorite to be MVP of the NBA Finals, when he helped to carry his team to a le.
"Morons like Ginobili" don't do meaningful stuff like that.
JHo just signed a 4 yr extension...no $$$ yet...
just 12 more days of this offseason bs before the real games start!
Over $40M.
That's alot of scratch.

Sources: Mavs, Howard agree on four-year extensionBy Marc Stein
ESPN.com
The Dallas Mavericks and Josh Howard on Thursday reached agreement on a four-year contract extension believed to be worth in excess of $40 million, team sources told ESPN.com.
Howard
The Mavericks and Howard were facing an Oct. 31 deadline to agree on an extension and prevent Howard from becoming a restricted free agent in July.
The new contract won't kick in until next season, with Howard scheduled to earn $1.7 million in the final year of his rookie contract.
Howard, who was eligible for a five-year extension, admitted in recent days he was "disappointed" with the slow pace of negotiations but also told ESPN.com earlier this month that he hadn't abandoned hope of securing a new deal before the Halloween buzzer.
"You never know," Howard said with a smile on Oct. 7.
It's believed the Mavericks, sensing the issue might linger with Howard all season, increased their offer in recent days to make it clear to the swingman how much they value him.
Howard has been Dallas' best player in training camp, showing little outward sign of being distracted by his contractual situation, but the absence of an extension before the regular season could easily have been perceived as another slight for a player who slipped to No. 29 in the 2003 draft.
Reaching terms with Howard means Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will have awarded new contracts to four of the biggest names in the organization since the Mavericks made their first trip to the NBA Finals in June: Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, coach Avery Johnson and Howard.

I take prince over howard anyday of the week
scratch for what
I think it depends on what you want out of a guy who plays out on the wing. Prince is such a steady guy and is fantastic on the defensive end without being supremely-explosive offensively. Howard is more erratic and not as good defensively, but is far more explosive on the offensive end, I think.
I don't think anyone would be too upset with having either one of them, really.
I'm curious how that signing will impact the Mavs going forward. Cuban had started into something of an austerity program by trying to rein in his spending a bit. They've given Dirk big money, dumped a bunch of money on Terry, and now signed JHo up at $10 million per. Maybe Cuban went backwards a bit assuming that this day was coming, but I still wonder if there are concerns with spending up there and whether those concerns will have any impact on the composition of the Mavs roster.
Cubes doesn't care about the money...
Go Cubes Go!
Go Cubes Go!
Go Cubes Go!
Go Cubes Go!
LOL...Kori and ducks just did the same thing...make sure you get onto them
Yeah, you're right. I guess that And-1 with dirk that pretty much ended their season wasn't meaningful..."Morons like Ginobili" don't do meaningful stuff like that.
So who's next on your shopping list ? VC ? or you're gonna try to make a push for KG ?
yes, because josh howard is in the class as those two.
no, but people in this board seem to think they can pry away other teams's best players/core for the MLE... pretty ridiculous
Dude has hung banners that matter. He's earned a pass. It was a stupid decision, but he's made a positive difference when it's mattered, too. If it hadn't been for his stellar play before that instant, he wouldn't have had that decision to make.
He's played a huge role in winning the whole thing twice and will likely do it again. That's enough for me.
