Yahoo: Spurs Make Offer to Josh Howard

[Man Mountain]

Wiz FA F Josh Howard now as an offer in hand from Spurs, rep says. Utah made offer & will meet with him this week. Wiz also still in mix.

He really killed us in 2006. Is he still good?

[Fireball]

No ... at least not consistent, because he is very injury prone ...

[boutons_deux]

He's dumb, no BB IQ, no guts.

[alamo50]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

......................... Spurs

[timvp]

Ugh. So not only is J-Ho apparently the next target, he's going to stretch out his decision? Not very good news for a team that needs to make a quick decision on RJ if they want any salary relief.

[SKINNYPIMP210]

I like it!!!

It's a weird timing to do an offer. Most of the SF targeted agreed to new contracts on Friday. Why Spurs have waited a couple of days to do this offer?

I wouldn't be surprised that this offer report is just a ploy form his agent.

[timvp]

Looking at who's left on the open market, the Spurs are pretty much forced to make a run at J-Ho. He's the only legit small forward with a pulse still available. It could turn out to be a good buy-low if he can stay healthy. But it's still a really risky move to sign him and plug him in as your starter at three.

That said, I prefer him over RJ. J-Ho is likely the dumbest player in the league but at least he'd bring some toughness to the position.

Yeah I don't see anyone else out there.

I just hope TIMVPs right ...

Wouldn't it seriously damage an agent's reputation to start claiming offers that aren't there?

Smoke screen.

[Mel_13]

I've got RJ fatigue, so I'd take Smokey. Just hope the deal isn't longer than two years.

O'Connor said the Jazz have had serious discussions with free agent small forward Josh Howard but a formal offer hasn't been made.

"I haven't made an official offer, no," O'Connor said. "That's incorrect. Have we talked about stuff? Yeah."

A source told The Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday that Howard's camp maintains the Jazz have made a "firm offer."

My guess is that there are very little interest for Howard among the league and that his agent is suing all the tricks of the book to get him a good contract.

We are getting CP3

Nice find

So there's a good chance this "offer" isn't real. Reading J-Ho's quotes, it sounds to me like his goal is to re-sign with the Wizards.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I like this for the Spurs, considering what's left he's probably our best option. I think a change of scenery will do him good.

He averaged 15 and 4 as recently as the 2009/10 season. Injuries will be a question, but I'd be more than happy to give him a second chance. We already know what we got with RJ, give JHo a chance.

Wow, that'd piss me off as a GM, but I guess it happens.

[Redshadows]

how much per year?

[Xevious]

He's dumb, no BB IQ, no guts.

I still remember laughing my ass off in 2006 when Howard called the Mav's last timeout after the Heat's first freethrow, pretty much guaranteeing the Mav's loss.

[mexicanjunior]

I hope it's not true, would rather let Leonard and Anderson play SF minutes than sign this a-hole. He is injury prone, a drug addict and an idiot on the b-ball court.
