What a dirty trick to have the headline say “Howard” instead of total nobody “Juwan Howard” on the main NBA page. Sorry but Juwan Howard is not newsworthy, he hasn’t done anything in too many years and should have retired. Go Lakers!

He gave the Heat some good minutes at power forward in the Indiana series this year, but the Heat need frontcourt players who could contribute against title contenders.

I think Harrelson makes it because of his combination of size and skill on offense, and then it becomes a battle between Gladness and Pittman. If Pittman clearly lags behind Gladness, I think Riley would buy out Pittman and sign Gladness.

The guaranteed contract for minimum salary isn’t something Riley fears throwing away – Eddie House was cut despite having a guaranteed deal last year.

I would say the smart money is on him joining the Heat’s coaching staff. Wade and LBJ love having him around, and Miami has always had a proclivity to transition ex-players into the coaching ranks (see Keith Askins).

I imagine he would step into the role that Spoelstra had when Wade was a rookie- 1:1 drills and workouts with developing players.

Give it up big guy, it was a good, long run. Got a championship at the very end, end it on that note and walk off into the sunset.

you’re allowed to compare players of different races without denoting that he’s the “white” version of him. You can just say he’s like Kurt Thomas with more range.

Sorry, but that’s a pet peeve of mine.

Harrellson is The White Kurt Thomas with more range on his J.

I can’t believe organizations are still wasting money on this clown. He’s been one of the biggest jokes for years.

Gotta love this guy. True pro. I hope if the Heat cut him, they offer him a coaching position instead. The guy is a basketball lifer and would be a great addition to any coaching staff around the league.
