Juwan Howard?

[djohnson]

The Timberwolves negotiated on Saturday to buy out the contract of veteran forward Juwan Howard.

The move should get the team to its limit of 15 players. Howard was seen hugging teammates goodbye after Friday's exhibition finale at Target Center and did not attend the Wolves' public scrimmage on Saturday evening.

What do you think? He might be better than Skinner or Marks.

If he's willing to come in for the minimum then he'd be good injury insurance, he'll probably go to the Spurs or Mavs though.

 

[dodie53]

i think he'll join the celtics

 

[fordronken]

I'm guessing Mavs. He used to play there. Celtics would make sense too, though.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I bet he goes back to Houston.

 

[Rbutters91]

Im thinkin along with fordronken. Mavs.

 

[ShuHanGuanYu]

Mavs it is.

The Mavericks picked up some much-needed frontline help by agreeing to terms with free agent Juwan Howard today. The contract can’t be completed until Howard clears waivers tomorrow

Howard (6-9, 253) hit the open market after Minnesota bought out his contract and should join the Mavs on the season-opening two-game road trip, perhaps as early as Wednesday night at Cleveland. The power forward has averaged 16.1 points and 7.1 rebounds over his 12-year career, including a stint in Dallas over parts of two seasons (2000-01 and ’01-02).

“Juwan was too big of an opportunity to pass up,” president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson told mavs.com. “Juwan is a winner, he’s a leader and he knows the Maverick way.

“He can swing from the ‘4’ to ‘5,’ so it gives us tremendous flexibility on the frontline.”

I think he had something in place before he agreed to the buyout.

Juwan would never have selected the Suns after what he must have heard from his old college mate Jalen Rose. In any case, I think he'll help the Mavs more than he would have helped the Suns since he fills a real need.

Not that it is likely to matter, but that removes one more team from mid season interest in PJ Brown.
