Josh Howard (knee) made his Jazz debut in Monday's preseason game against the Blazers with just four minutes of action. Some are undaunted by the prospect of his knee, but we don't see investing a ton of time or energy into a guy whose best days are clearly passed. Even if he were to miraculously stay healthy, there is no guarantee he would be a better player than those ahead of him on the depth chart. Stay away.

Josh Howard says he's ready to play in Monday's exhibition game. His knee is going to probably be shaky all season and we're guessing he won't stay healthy for long. If he does, he could be a surprisingly good fantasy player, but that's a big "if."

Josh Howard's new deal with the Utah Jazz is for one year and $3 million. If he passes his physical, Howard is expected to be on hand for the team's open scrimmage on Saturday. With his injury history, passing the physical will be a bigger deal for Howard than most. If he does pass, Howard will fill a definite need that Utah has at the SF position. While his role won't be big right away, if he can stay healthy, he is someone to keep an eye on.

Josh Howard has agreed to a deal with the Utah Jazz. Chris Broussard is reporting that Josh Howard has agreed to a deal with the Utah Jazz. We will pass along the information on the length and value of the contract as soon as it becomes available.

Josh Howard has received a contract offer from the Spurs. San Antonio joins Utah as the two teams to make official offers on Howard, although the Wizards remain in play for the veteran small forward. Depending on where he lands, Howard could prove to have a larger role than expected assuming he's capable of remaining healthy.

Josh Howard has reportedly received an official offer from the Jazz. The Spurs are still in the mix for Howard, and he's said that he would like to join Nene in Denver or New Jersey. This offer from Utah should solidify his market value, so expect him to choose a team sooner rather than later.

Josh Howard would reportedly like to join free agent Nene in Denver or New Jersey. We had no idea the two were so close, but if Nene signs elsewhere Howard will likely consider the Spurs, Bulls, Jazz and Hornets. He'll play a bench role whenever he signs, and should be viewed skeptically in fantasy leagues.

Free agent Josh Howard is reportedly mulling offers from the Spurs, Nets, Nuggets, Jazz, Bulls and Wizards. Howard has been riddled with injuries in recent years, yet there is apparently no lack of demand for his services. We just saw Caron Butler agree to a deal that will pay him $8 million per season, and we can't discount the unpredictability of GM's, but Howard is likely to get a much more modest amount.

Free agent Josh Howard will visit the Bulls, Wizards, Nets and Spurs this week. Howard is drawing heavy interest as a veteran off the bench, and he'll be looking to once again rebuild his stock after a knee injury knocked him out of action last season. He won't establish any consistent fantasy value until he proves he can stay healthy.

Josh Howard's representatives have had conversations with the Bulls, Wizards, Celtics, Nets, Nuggets, Hornets, Spurs and Hawks. Pick a team that could use some veteran help at SG/SF, and it's likely they'll have a 'conversation' with Howard's reps at some point. It's still anyone's guess where he'll end up, but he'll have to prove his health before fantasy owners can expect reliable value.
