Jazz make an offer to Josh Howard

If AK's agent is really expecting 4 and 40M. Then he is not playing in the NBA next season. Who in their right mind is going to pay that?

If the Jazz gave AK that kind of money I would start a Fire KOC and Greg Miller movement. And I've been accused of being a KOC apologist.

I dunno where you found me saying that we need to bring him back. I said Jazz would win more games with him but we would not be contending team anyway. So what's the point of bringing him back? Plus if Prince and Butler are getting deals around 7mil/year no way AK is going to get less. So obviously he is not coming back as Jazz are trying to fill roster gaps with cheap options. Plus I am not sure he wants to come back to NBA this year... looks like he is enjoying playing in Russia and adding Euroleague title, Russian league title and VTB title would be pretty exciting for him. I think he will come back to NBA next year after having great season in Europe and raising his market value.
 
Howard's 31, his production has declined for the last three seasons, and he's had run-ins with the law and league over his admitted use of marijuana and involvement in street racing. On top of that, he tore his ACL last February. A more, say, motivated player tears his ACL, and you'd be enthused about his progress. With Howard? The guy hasn't added much to his game since 2003, and we're to believe that he's going to be ultra-motivated to work his way back? Especially after being handed most of our mid-level exception to play this year? He does not factor into our plans beyond 1-2 years. He's not going to be the piece that pushes us over the playoff hump so lets just save the cash and give that time to Hayward, Burks and Evans so they can grow quicker.
 
If we're gonna go high risk why not Michael Redd - at least he fills a need with the lack of outside shooting on this team.
