mehh why not

He seemed to have a few issues back in the day whenever he'd come home during the offseason...hopefully he'll have matured some. According to hoopshype we also worked out Dante Green last week, kind of insinuating we wouldn't be averse to adding another SF.

Don't know how I feel about that one as I really want our 2 rooks to get most of the burn there. I guess we could be planning on giving MKG time at PF like we did with Crash (where some of his best numbers came from). Both would be considered part of the strategy of finding assets out of nothing which we should be all about right now.

Talent is talent. He's not that good anymore but he's better than some other options out there.

Id rather have three NBA caliber SFs than a PG like Higgins or Jardine who doesn't belong

Vet min..why not. 1 year deal

I'm guessing this means we might be doing the miami heat thing and playing 3 wing players with a big and a point guard. Why not play howard @ the 4? He's 32 and not that great. I don't mind risking him getting hurt. Let me just say that i absolutely in no way want mkg getting any minutes @ the 4. You don't fuck with the future of the franchise. Considering we already have 6 wing players i hope this means we are moving carroll or williams in a small deal to a team that needs a shooter or just buying carroll out. But i'm not holding my breath on that one!

Or maybe they aren't comfortable running into the season with two rookies manning the SF position, one of which being the youngest player in the league, and think adding a veteran presence is a good idea.


We have 5 guards who will be getting minutes at the 1/2--Kemba, Hendo, Sessions, Gordon, Reggie

5 bigs who will be getting minutes at the 4/5--Bismack, Mullens, Haywood, Tyrus, Diop


Adding another wing makes sense to me

I don't look at pointguards. I'm looking at wings (2's and 3's) and we have 6 in hendo,gordon,carroll,williams,mkg,and taylor. 4 of them can play minutes at the 3. I would also bet that either mkg or tayor can play every bit as good this year as howard. The whole point is to get our young guys experience. If signing howard in any way cuts into minutes for mkg or taylor i don't want him. If we are going with a small lineup and howard is gonna play some 4 because we think he's better than any of the other options then so be it.

I think Josh Howard grew up in NC. It's interesting we're going after free agents with N.C. ties.

I can see this, especially if Dunlap wants to up the tempo. He'll need bodies to do that and it wouldn't hurt to have a solid vet in with the young SF group. It could also open up trade opportunities in the SG/SF area as the season goes on.
