    I am happy for him too. Great presence on the bench for the Blazers. But towards the end of the season, his age caught up with him. Perdergraf will needs those minutes this year.

    Juwan showed he can still play a bit, and good for him if he goes there. It'll be sad to see him leave because he was a great mentor for Jeff and Dante. But I'm sure Camby will provide that veteran presence for LA, G.O. and the other bigs.

    And it goes to show that Miami might not have to fill their roster with complete scrubs or D-Leaguers for the minimum.

    I think I'm going to refer to Miami's NBA team from now on as the "Hessians".

    I think Paul Allen should (In jest) write a letter to the Blazer fans ripping Howard for stabbing us in the back and taking the easy way out in going to Miami.

    Howard had a PER of 10 at age 36. I am not sure he's going to do any better at age 37.

    Well, on the bright side we'll get to see how Pendergraph and Cunningham develop.

    He wont retire until he wins a ring I bet. Miami seems to be the right place to go.

    why retire if someone is going to pay you a substantial sum to play hoops, travel the country and stay in deluxe hotels? Geez many of us have to pay to play and travel

    I'm glad Howard isn't coming back. He had a few nice games after Joel went down, but his age quickly caught up with him as the rest of the season went along. Sure he was a nice guy, but his "veteran leadership" is greatly overstated. I'd like to see all his minutes go to Pend.

    No joke, Miami should sign Reggie Miller and Glen Rice to stand in the corners and bomb!
