You are joking right. I am assuming you are. No way he should take time from Hayward and Burks.
Will Josh Howard replace Gordon Hayward in the Starting Lineup??

Now now, you take the money you save to buy beer.
Anyway, I like what I've seen from Howard and am to the point of saying 'welcome to the team'. He may be a bit of a shoot first player, but he is one of the few players that can create for himself and has experience on the court. I don't know if the Jazz keep him after this year, but if Hayward, Millsap and Evans learn how to play the SF from him, than I'm all for him being a major contributor on the team. (Don't really care about CJ, I figure he'll be with Deron next year anyway.)
josh is playing great, he has no fear going to the rim or trying to score from anywhere else
I would rather see josh at 3, and hayward at 2 , and bring bell from bench. Bell is not very bad, i dont see a problem unless he takes more than 15 min per game. But i think we should trade CJ miles for sure, he has more trade value than bell and he is really of no value for us anymore, just trade him and give the mins he has to burks, at least he has potential

As much as it would kill me to see it, I think CJ might not be what the team needs. He has plenty of talent, but he wants to start except he isn't consistent at all, and doesn't accept a spot on the bench well (his play goes down). Players need to realize that while a team is required to have 13 players, only 5 of them start. That's only 38% of the team. (Paul needs to learn this lesson as well) More than half of the team will come off the bench, and many of them will be very talented players. I wish the NBA would stop pushing the starting player concept as hard, or maybe cut back on the number of required players.
Oh, Howard. He's more talented than CJ is right now, and he's not even back in NBA shape yet. The only thing that CJ has over Howard is his 3 point shot, and that is FAR from consistent. (oh, and CJ is much younger too, but how long do you give a guy to become consistant?)

Bell for a bag of chips and CJ for a ham sandwich like I have said and we almost have a full lunch. We may never get a better deal for those two...

If Hayward gets benched for Howard, I'm done with this team til the coaching staff changes. I'll still post on the board but I won't watch games or look at box scores or waste my time caring about the wins and losses. To bench a guy who busts his *** and produces and plays with some semblance of confidence over a veteran scrub like Bell would be ludicrous and it would be a complete waste of my time to invest emotional energy into a team led by a moron like Corbin who, if he made this move, may be leading the team not only down a cyclic path of losing but even worse, one where the youngsters become disenchanted, so much so that they pack their bags before their first contracts are even up, thus making this collection of young talent, pointless.

Another good game by Howard, and a not-so-good one from Hayward...

Thats what Im hoping for. I might fly to SLC and throw a balloon filled with pizza-sauce at Corbin if he benches Hayward and starts Bell instead.
That is quite a sentence.

We should keep Hayward in. He is a playmaker and putting him on the bench would have a negative effect. Howard is an awesome guy off the bench especially when he has something to prove.

Dirk Nowitzski said this year, with the compressed schedule, they are going to throw a lot of people out on the floor. They are either going to sink or swim. Right now, Hayward is sinking. He is losing confidence in his slow release jumper and he's a tweener. Too slow to guard 2's and not strong enough to guard 3's. When Hayward plays with Favors, they can efficiently run the pick 'n roll and make something good happen. I think if Ty wants to keep Hayward's confidence up, they should run P'N'Roll with more than just Favors.

Josh Howard came to the Jazz for a reason.
He wanted to be on a team full of young guys that he thought had the potential to be a winning team.
For all we know, Howard could return almost to full form and actually be the star on this team (of course pending a Jefferson trade for maybe Iguodala or something).
Of course I think Hayward and Favors are their stars of the future..... Howard might be their star of today.

I beg to differ. CJ is due up for a big contract before Bell, and will steal the money first.
Poor Bell. Maybe he will end up overpaid on some young team, providing leadership to them after this contract is up?

A few reasons hopefully. To get into game shape, teach the jazz youngsters, and then get traded at the deadline to a contender for a future pick.
Howard Salary?
What is Howard's salary? All I can find is "contract terms not released" in the press (apologies if already posted)

Plans to put Howard in the starting lineup clearly mean Hayward moves over to the 2. That will make lots of people happy. I don't think Hayward can guard 2's, but I'll live with that so long as Raja is out of the lineup.
