View Full Version : Dallas signs Juwan Howard, releases Mbenga Glenn 10-28-2007, 12:06 PM Miami? The Lakers? Wilfredo Ledezma 10-28-2007, 12:08 PM can you imagine a front line rotation for Shaq, Zo, and Juwan...my god talk about the NBAs most formidable frount court...10 years ago Glenn 10-28-2007, 12:31 PM Boston might be a good option, too. The Clippers could use some help with Brand being out for an extended period of time, too. Orlando might take a shot with Battie out for the season, as might the Wizards due to Etan Thomas, but would Juwan go back there? Wilfredo Ledezma 10-28-2007, 12:38 PM Speaking of Etan Thomas, who is supposed to fill his void, obvioulsy Haywood will be starting, but will his immediate backup be Pecherov??? Or will they play small and run on everybody and put Jamison at the 5 Cross 10-30-2007, 12:56 PM If the Cavs get him, Varaejeo won't be in the league anymore. me likey Timone 10-30-2007, 01:01 PM yeah, apparently he's going to the Cavs...and from what I understand Juwan is one of the guys 'Sheed owns. Cross 10-30-2007, 01:10 PM Well the Cavs become much more respectable in contrast with having anderson in the lineup....who wanted 9 mil a year. Glenn 10-30-2007, 02:36 PM wow. Mavs adding Juwan Howard, releasing DJ Mbenga Art Garcia | Mavs.com Posted: Oct. 30, 2007 The Mavericks picked up some much-needed frontline help by agreeing to terms with free agent Juwan Howard today. The contract can’t be completed until Howard clears waivers tomorrow Howard (6-9, 253) hit the open market after Minnesota bought out his contract. The power forward has averaged 16.1 points and 7.1 rebounds over his 12-year career, including a stint in Dallas over parts of two season (2000-01 and ’01-02). “Juwan was too big of an opportunity to pass up,” president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson told mavs.com. “Juwan is a winner, he’s a leader and he knows the Maverick way. “He can swing from the ‘4’ to ‘5,’ so it gives us tremendous flexibility on the frontline.” Howard should join the rotation immediately backing up Gana Diop and Dirk Nowitzki up front. The Mavs were in need of help down low, especially with Erick Dampier out. Brandon Bass was the only other healthy big man with NBA experience on the roster. The team made room for Howard by releasing third-year center DJ Mbenga, who has recently come back from a last year’s season-ending knee injury. “DJ needs an opportunity to play and develop,” Nelson said. “We appreciate everything he’s done for us and he’s been a big part of our success. We’re hopeful that with playing time, whether it’s in the NBA or Europe, he’ll be able to join our team in the future.” Timone 10-30-2007, 02:39 PM Wow! Look out college football! Glenn 10-30-2007, 02:41 PM I think Phoenix and Dallas pretty much sign anybody they want to. Tahoe 10-30-2007, 02:52 PM “Juwan was too big of an opportunity to pass up,” president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson told mavs.com. “Juwan is a winner, he’s a leader and he knows the Maverick way. Really? Timone 10-30-2007, 02:55 PM Who isn't on the Mavs? They won 67 games last year! |
