    Why? :dunno:

    If we wanted a veteran PF, we should go/have gone after one that actually has some game left in him. Like Joe Smith, who could have been had for the veterans' minimum.

    He is a vet. But does he add toughness?

    4 PPG 2 RPG for the below average Bobcats.

    How is he a better option than Cunningham/Pendergraph? I could care less about his 15 years of experience, it doesn't change the fact the he supremely BLOWS at this stage of his career.

    Better question: How is he a better option than Charmin Frye?

    Howard is an upgrade over Frye.

    Strictly a practice player to give veteran tips to our bigs?

    I don't see any other role he can be useful in.

    Telling players about the dangers of herpes could be one.

    The last thing this team needs is a player who has been to the playoffs several times. A verteran player who can help teach some of our young players some verteran tricks. A player who can act like another coach on the bench.

    It's not like that player is going to play a lot anyway?

    I wonder why we haven't signed Pendergraph yet. Hopefully it's not to have Howard as our backup.

    This. I am sure if we bought him in, it would be just to mentor and coach.

    Apparently Juwan Howard & Stromile Swift will both audition.

    Howard's always had the reputation of being a great locker room guy. For the vet minimum, it can't hurt.
