FTs, TOs, and low assists lower his efficiency, though. There's more to offensive than just scoring from the field. He still has a good offensive rating, though it's below Rolo's. We'd have a team with much bigger names but I'm not sure they'd win more.

Mind you i'm no fan of Howard and don't really want him but I can understand how they would see it as an option.

Pretty sure there will be a lot less drama, and Im guessing that he would fight harder for a ring. Howard still has no low post game to speak of, Holford does. Ideally, I would rather sign more players on the way up than on the way down.

If you look at his career stats and his per 36 min numbers they're virtually the same as Robin Lopez and last year when given the minutes in Cleveland he played well. I think we should look at Mozgov at least as a backup who could be signed for little cap space.

I wouldn't mind getting Cole Aldrich back. There's definitely plenty of mid tier centers in free agency if we end up striking out on the big names.
