Jazz in the mix to sign Josh Howard

He has all the tools to be a great player but his basketball IQ and attitude have always held him back.
I can totally see him wanting to sign wherever Nene goes...makes sense. He has the buddy-buddy mentality.
He threw a fit in Dallas after his buddy Devin Harris was traded away. Literally let it affect his on-court play.
The injuries ultimately doomed him. If he's healthy, it's worth a shot...could be a potential steal.
If he's healthy, then there's really no one in the League that can do a better job of keeping JHo straight and out of trouble than Harris, simply because JHo will listen to him.
They do charity events and what not in Dallas together all the time.
 
Personally, I think any 3 they sign should be a shooter. But when you're only throwing Vet min money around plus maybe a million or two, you can't get too picky. Howard's not a bad option so long as he's cheap.
 
Little risk potential nice reward if he can revitalize his career. Remember when he went off on us couple years back for his career high, dude was scorching hot that game.
 
I agree, if the money's right, I say give him a shot. It seems the Jazz are doing what they did after the AK-led year--getting veterans instead of just waiting for draft picks to develop. I think a good team has a nice mixture of young and veteran talent. It's interesting to see what kind of team they're building. Could be completely different by opening day, too. Pretty wild.
 
let's hope this turns out better than Haynesworth and Ochocinco. I didn't expect the Jazz to go Belichick since they don't have an established identity/team culture. whatevar.
 
Seems to me like they're experimenting a bit now that Sloan's gone. Perhaps Corbin is better at managing "troublemakers" than Sloan? Seriously, some guys just need a second chance to prove themselves. Some guys just need to play somewhere where their big contract isn't an issue anymore--takes the pressure off.
 
Not sure I like Josh Howard here; a tough fit, IMO.
Interesting point regarding the Devin Harris connection. I'd been thinkin' Howard would never come here anyway, but if Devin invites him over to play in his new backyard...
