Juwan Howard could sign with the Heat...

...and Big Z may join the unholy trinity as well.

neither of those guys will hold up very long. Big Z was pretty much done last year and Howard has been running on empty for a while, I hope they do sign with the heat.

But both good adds for the vet min at this point.

Crazy... I wonder how long they will take to gel and actually get the chemistry going? Especially if all these guys sign one year vet mins and a few retire next year. Interesting to think about.

I'm not surprised at all.  I fully expected Big Z to look into joining back up with LeBron for once last chance at a title.

Big Z would be a good fourth big in the rotation or an excellent fifth big.

Juwan Howard played well last year for Portland and if he is able to maintain that, he would give them good depth as a fifth or sixth big in the depth chart. However, I wouldn't be comfortable on relying on Howard because he was a liability for four years prior to signing with Portland.
