Excellent news. As I said in another post, the downside to this is Burks loses minutes out of the gate (although Howard might need a little time to get the offense down.) But there are two big advantages. 1) A little "watch and learn" time for Burks to start the year is not such a bad thing. 2) With the compressed season, we're going to have injury/fatigue issues. Somebody out of Hayward/Miles/Bell/Burks is going to get hurt. So Burks will absolutely get minutes, and Ty will put him in the rotation if he can beat somebody out.
Howard gives us a solid, if unspectacular 5 at the wings. Better than having some rookie backup to the other 4.

Nuts, beat me to it.
Anyway,
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darn, it had better be a short deal for pennies on the dollar, because if this restricts development of our talent I will be pissed.
And he better keep his tail out of jail.

This hinders our future in two ways, imo.
1. It takes away playing time from Hayward and Burks, setting back their development. You can sell that crap all you want about having a "mentor", but imo getting playing time is much more beneficial to one's development than a has-been mentor.
2. If Howard does end up being decent this season, that increases our wins, possibly getting us the 8th spot in the West, causing us to lose a lottery pick in a LOADED 2012 draft.

No losing on purpose, the only lottery pick I want in the next ten years are traded ones. (golden state pick hopefuly)

I'm not saying our guys shouldn't try to win, I'm saying that, given our current roster, there's a good chance we will be in the lottery. Might as well just do our best, develop our youngsters in the process, and be excited about adding another potential All-Star through the 2012 draft.
