UPDATE: David Aldridge of NBA.com reports that the Knicks are making a pitch to Howard on Wednesday. So add the Knicks to a list that includes the Bulls, Celtics and Wizards, as Howard is still reportedly considering a return to Washington D.C. --- Though Josh Howard tore the ACL in his left knee in March, teams are still showing interest. According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports, the Bulls and Celtics are both interested in Howard -- who was an All-Star as a member of the Mavericks. He writes: "While the Bulls could have the salary-cap space to sign Howard, depending on what happens with their offer sheet to J.J. Redick, the Celtics would need a sign-and-trade to arrange a deal because they have already used their midlevel exception on Jermaine O'Neal." Neither team has offered a contract yet. Howard's timetable for his injury was six to eight months, but he told Yahoo! he's ahead of schedule and hoping to be back at the start of next season. Howard missed several games in the 2008-09 season due to injury as well and there were disciplinary issues with him in Dallas, so he does come with some risk for either of these teams, should they extend him an offer.

Josh Howard just hasn't been able to stay healthy the last few years and his stock has really plummeted. Its sad to see him come so far and then to have this happen to him during his prime.
I think his off court behavior has killed his value more than his health. He admitted he smokes weed every offseason and IIRC the Mavs benched him a few times for being hung over? If he hasn't cleaned up his act, NY is a terrible destination for him to end up.
