"Utah Has made Josh Howard an offer, source says. No details on numbers. Howard still looking at all options."

A very surprising move and outside the conservative Jazz "box." I think we can safely say KOC is a much different GM without Sloan around.
I also like the move, LJ. Even if nothing comes of it, it shows the Jazz are willing to take some calculated chances.

Puff Puff Give, Puff Puff Give. Pretty Sure Josh Howard won't come to Utah because he wants a place with a little more greenery.

....yeah, let's sign a hopper type guy to a long term deal who averages about 1/2 of an assist per week....is a black hole when given the ball....and would destroy any semblance of team play we are trying to build around here!

4-5 yrs ago I would have loved getting him. Seems like he's struggled these past few years, but I'd be on board if it were a 2 yr deal for $7-8MM.

High risk, little reward

How can you say that without having seen what we offered him?

I like it too. As long as the money is right.

If last year was a fluke (which is not so far fetched) and he gets back to old form, he would be a great addition. And even at his worst he's still better than Raja Bell. It puts Howard at SF getting minutes that CJ would have probably got, and CJ at sg (getting minutes that would have probably went to Bell).

I hope the money is right, and I hope he takes it.

This thread is about Howard, not Jefferson.

Josh Howard and Jamaal Tinsley?


Greg Miller, this is not your father's Jazz anymore.
