Terrible news for Howard. All accounts I read said he was a great guy in the locker room. Depending on what happens with the draft picks (or lack thereof), he might be worth considering next season.
But fantastic news for Ty and the team. We only have 20 games left and need to make a decision on CJ. Ty needs to play Miles 35 mins/game now. Cj has never been given a fair shot and this will show if he's capable of being the starting SF on a playoff-caliber team. If he can average 16 pts on at least 40% shooting, I see Utah offering him a 5-yr deal for $25-$30M.
And if you think my post was serious (except for the Howard part), then give me a call. I have a great investment I want to talk to you about.
