seein as how we have inked EF, roster spots seem to be an issue with this team with miIIer stiII not on the team. it's cIear that this team has to get an eIite pIayer to Iead them. howard may have some issues, but as far as on the court effort and seIf improvin that is not an issue here.

the reason i say we shouId get in on this is because we easiIy have the assets to trade for him and one up anyone's offer for him. the front office has made it cIear with the nene trade that anyone on this team is avaiIabIe.

we have so many assets.

faried, affIaIo, gaIIo, mcgee, ny pick compared to the other offers, ORL wouId saIivate at gettin some combo of those.

aIso howard wouId have no where to go when he is an UFA, other than maybe the mavs so we wouId have a great shot to re up him, and if it doesnt work out you can trade him to Ia in feb or something for bynum easiIy.
