Nets pursued Juwan Howard

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">By the way, if anyone really cares at this point, the Nets called Houston about Juwan Howard. They don?t even like the guy that much ? don?t like his contract, actually ? but he?s available, he can still play a little, and they thought he might be the kind of four you can plug in and get some numbers from. Maybe they talk about him again, maybe not. The organization is split on him, probably because he makes $6.4M, with $6.9 and $7.4 coming up.</div><a href="http://www.nj.com/newslogs/nets/index.ssf?/mtlogs/njo_netsblast/archives/2006_12.html#214314" target="_blank">

I wonder what the offer would have been?

 

Maybe the Rockets can somehow pull a big deal and land Carter?

 

all I have to ask is ..................why?

 

Jefferson would be a little more realistic.

Luther
Juwan
Sura

for Richard Jefferson

I'd hate to lose Head, and this trade would never happen.

If Bonzi got back in shape, Juwan Howard and Bonzi for RJ seems fair, since they are interested in J-Ho.

 

To think the Rockets could have had RJ all along, if it weren't for that silly Eddie Griffin fiasco.

Though where would you put RJ in the Rockets lineup that already has TMac and Battier?

 

Easy
T-Mac
Head
Jefferson
Battier
Yao

Or you could stick Rafer at the point and take out Head.

 

Only position where the Nets are in need is PF and back up center. We would have to give up Chuck hayes for anything to happen.

Not necessarily. The main reason the Nets are/were interested in Howard was because of his ability to score in the post. Besides Krstic, New Jersey has no post threat, and as a result, have to play donut offense where their scoring has to mainly come from the wing. Hayes isn't much of an upgrade over Jason Collins for them.
