Josh Howard out for season!!
- Thread starter chawx
- Start date
Kind of an A-holeish way to put !! marks at the end of it as if you are happy he is having knee surgery. Feel bad for the dude. He was doing pretty good this season and working his way to a nice last contract.
I never want to hear that a player is injured let alone one of our own. (That is like hoping that the veteran warehouse employee has a stack of boxes fall on him so that the up and coming young guy can finally get some time on the forklift)
I hope Josh can recover and possible come back next season with a veteran bench roll like Watson has. If he is coming back as a 20+ minute per game guy no thanks but all teams need solid veteran play to really win.

Terrible news for Howard. All accounts I read said he was a great guy in the locker room. Depending on what happens with the draft picks (or lack thereof), he might be worth considering next season.
But fantastic news for Ty and the team. We only have 20 games left and need to make a decision on CJ. Ty needs to play Miles 35 mins/game now. Cj has never been given a fair shot and this will show if he's capable of being the starting SF on a playoff-caliber team. If he can average 16 pts on at least 40% shooting, I see Utah offering him a 5-yr deal for $25-$30M.
And if you think my post was serious (except for the Howard part), then give me a call. I have a great investment I want to talk to you about.

Some people are so blinded by their desire to see our young players get more minutes that they don't realize that Howard was a great asset to the team this year. The team is definitely worse for not having him available. My only concern about Howard from the start was that I think he was trying to springboard to another team. I have no problem with the way he played before he got hurt.
He's......... NOT A SMALL FORWARD!!!!!!!!!
His 3 point shooting impressed you?

Always bad to see one of our players go down with an energy. I liked what Howard brought to the table I hope Jazz pick him up next year and get rid of the likes of RAJA to thin that position.

Then why has Corbin played him at SF?

I'll admit I was a bit hesitant. And the same with Tinsley. Both have been model citizens. I wish Howard nothing but the best (well, as long as he doesn't end up in LA or Miami, that is).
Agree, but need somebody who can shoot the 3 and someone a little younger.
I don't remember that ever happening.

^ Haha, that's funny. My "!!" in the title is not me being happy about Howard's injury. I, like a lot of others, thought Howard was helping us win and staying classy while doing so.
Was he a black hole at times? yes. But, did he help us win some games with his shot and his toughness? definitely, yes.
I think now, we get to see what Burks is really all about, which isn't really a bad thing for this team right now.
Plus, I think the only Jazz player I've ever wished injury on was Bell, and that was after his little rant where he went home before the Bulls game...which I feel bad about doing to this day. In the end, these guys are people and have lives and family outside of the game, and they never deserve to be injured.
