Yup - they have been after Josh for years and have remained persistent. I am actually surprised (just look at the interest there was coming off of his last knee surgery) that he opted to take the d-league route.

Slightly more donkey looking but closeThe horse face is finished
Can we still get Nunnally? If so, will they?
It was expected. What Spurs did with Howard exposed a loophole in D-League rules. Rules should change because it isn't good for the simplicity of the NBA to have players signed only for 1 day just to have teams owning their D-League rights.
This move shows that Spurs have some interest in Howard. If he is back at 100% with the Toros in one or two months, Spurs might sign him. It also shows that Spurs haven't given up on getting another SF after the Young and Maggette failure.
Is there a limit to how many players you set up like this? Interesting that Maggette didn't go this route.
Isn't it the last 3 players you cut that applies to this rule?
A reason that could explain Spurs having done that little for the SF spot is that they are just looking at a stopgap. In addition of the very young and talented Leonard, Spurs have in Europe two quality SF/mobile PF with Bertans and Jean-Charles. Spurs might no want to commit assets or long term money for another SF given how loaded could be that position in the future.
Still don't understand this move by the FO, they cut Maggette (who is by far the better player) claiming reasons of an injury but then they sign a guy who is in rehab for an injury of his own. This FO needs to step away from the wine bottle for a couple of months at least.
At this stage it would be better to have a young project for that last slot, but who knows I guess maybe J-ho finally got his together enough to be a half decent player, and not just a walking useless corpse...
At their ages Maggette > A clean uninjured J-ho

Pop on Josh Howard: 'He’s trying see what body feels like,see if he can play at level advantageous for him for another team he could go to,'
It's up to three. I guess it will be Howard, Kabongo with the third being Fells or Cousins. It will depend on if they want to go overseas of if they D-League rights are still owned by another team.
Reports said Maggette retired because of health issues. The best for him was likely to retire instead of trying to play through pain to be an end of the bench player. It's even more a smart choice that he has post playing career aspirations with being part of a NBA front office.
Cousin has already played for the Toros so I don't think they have to use an allocation spot for him.
Fells hasn't played in the D-League to my knowledge.
Yep...I thought so.
We waived him... makes sense he played for the Jazz before moving up to the D-League though...
yeah, we send players that really suck to the D-League or the Jazz... see: Jefferson, Richard
sarcasm. google it.
I watched every game Belinelli played last season. He was much worse than RJ was his 2nd year with us.
And no he actually doesn't bring much more positive to the game. He can shoot, but worse than Neal and RJ. His greatest strength is shooting. Think about it. His D' is poor too. I don't know how else to explain it besides just say "watch and see".
This one is even more re ed and butthurt than your average jazz fan.
I have looked for some story on how Howards rehabilitation went in Austin but could not
find anything......anyone with an update? Is he still with the Spurs?
Good signing. Lol
The update is: he sucks and his pro career is over.
