<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Dave D'Alessandro reveals that the Nets recently pursued Juwan Howard, the 6'-9" power forward who plays backup for the Rockets. And he adds, the team may pursue him again. The problem is that the 32-year-old is owed more than $20 million over the next three years and management is split on whether he's worth it. Meanwhile, D'Alessandro drops more hints about the team's downward spiral and even offers up the possibility that as a unit, this team is simply done</div> Source
<div class="quote_poster">nextlevelgame Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Juwan Howard????? Nooo....</div> We're getting desperate. That's the problem.
Absolutely the worst possible option. Huge contract and he doesn't bring you anything that Nenad Krstic already does. They need to look for a frontcourt help somewhere else.

yea i thnik juwan would be a horriable move, i rather have collins than juwan, any of our bigs actualyl especially with his contract
What does "pursue" mean? Did they call and ask Houston if Howard is available and got turned down? Sounds like b.s. rumor to me. I can't imagine the Rockets turning down any offer to unload the likes of Juwan Howard.

<div class="quote_poster">Carter Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">We're desprete. </div> Desperate. And honestly we aren't that desperate to get Howard. He will contribute pratically nothing. Like Swish said, it isn't smart and I agree. Thorn isn't stupid so I hope he doesn't make this mistake.

Why make a very risky move that can hurt you in the future? This season is important but we shouldn't do any trade because we can. You must think. Will this hurt us in the long run or is worth it? In this case, it isn't. Howard is old and his contract is awful. Case closed.

So he is gonna be like a Jeff McInnis?

Adding him to the mix won't make us championship contenders, so what's the point?

He's making 6.4 mill this year, and he is a 6'9 player, big men get paid more. His two years after are 6.8 and 7.4 mill.
