They should, there's no reason to keep Juwan Howard, the Timberwolves are rebuilding their franchise and Howard is a veteran who should be on the bench of a championship caliber team in a final attempt at a ring. It's best for both sides for these two to part.
They aren't going to get any young players or decent draft picks for Howard like I read. This is the perfect opportunity to shave down the roster and package Howard with a guy like Ricky Davis, Marko Jaric, Trenton Hassell etc.

You aren't going to get too much unless you package the guy with someone else. I would like to keep Hassell personally. He has a good attitude and was a co captain last year. He brings good defense and some veteran leadership. But saying that, that might give him a little trade value at the same time.</p>
What can you get for Howard? </p><ul>[*]A veteran team may give you mediocre first and a similar contract. Or perhaps an expiring contract?[*]Another rebuilding team may give you a better player with a crummier contract, but of course that doesn't seem to help the TWolves.[/list]
For you Nets fans, how about Jason Collins for Howard? The TWolves get someone younger and the Nets get someone slightly better?</p> Howard, Krstic and Magloire looks relatively solid, if not spectacular.</p>
Collins isn't going anywhere.</p> With him FINALLY coming off the bench this season, the Nets will need him to own Bosh and Curry when they meet up. </p>
