Juwan Howard close to signing with Heat

[Coach34]

another solid bench player...and he does affect Jarvis' chances of making it

I bet he gets a 10 day or two this year.

Was Purvis Ellison not available?</p>

 

[Coach34]

Howard is 37...Fisher turns 36 in a few days

 

[Hanmudog]

Howard hasn't been any good for like 7-8 years. Look it up genius.

Guy can play, old but isn't bad. Really hurts Jarvis's chances.

and his regular season numbers aren't much better. There are plenty of guys who can do that.

Correction: The guy COULD play. I don't think this hurts Jarvis at all. Jarvis is around 22 years old with alot of upside. He could learn alot from Howard but I don't think the Heat would risk letting Jarvis go just to make room for a 37 year old player.

It should also be noted that Fisher averaged 10+ ppg in the playoffs this year.

On a related note: Looks like Raja Bell is going to sign with the Lakers. If the Heat get past Boston and Chicago to face the Lakers then it will be a hell of a Finals.

 

[Coach34]

and he will have a roster spot- so that makes Howard, Haslem, Bosh, and the Big Goon on the inside taking 4 spots...Miller is a SF...makes 5

Chalmers, Lebron, and DWade- makes 8...they have to have at least 2 more guards...makes 10

2 spots left- they need a back-up Center and who knows for that 12th spot
