Beasley and Gomes would be ideal for Boston for the rest of the money and then sign up Nate and TA to fill up the roster.

Would love to have Ryan Gomes back, and as for Beas he seems to have the potential, and I am sure KG and Doc can bring the best out of him.

Josh Howard is still a good defender and could be a very good to excellent defender if he focused on it.

His rebounding has dropped off though and his offensive game is weak. Too much isolation offense and not efficient enough with it anymore (not that efficient to begin with, so any decline was going to be very hurtful to him).

I don't think Howard is willing to let go of his star days just yet. I expect he'll want to be a scorer and be a negative influence offensively, rebounding wise, and be good but unexceptional defensively as a result. I also he'll command a long (3-5 years) MLE or near MLE contract which I don't want any part of.

So, I wouldn't be interested in Josh Howard.

He'd be a great addition if possible.  We really need a wing with size now that we're going to have to guard LeBron and Wade to get to title 18.

Not in love with taking Howard just off injury.  And I think NY, NJ and the Clippers have a lot of money to throw at him to start so I think its unlikely anyway.

Gomes just signed with LAC. Howard would be a great fit IMO. If the price is right I'd love for the c's to scoop him up.

Howard was once an all-star. He wouldn't be a bad edition for cheap.

Although NJ just signed Travis outlaw so they wouldn't take Howard. Clippers signed Gomes. I think it comes down to us and NY. We'll see what Josh cares about.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

I hope Danny gets him. Miami may be stacked (with the addition of Mike Miller) but if we get Josh, we won't be to shabby ourselves.
