I don't think Howard will ever be the player he was. 660 NBA games under his belt. For a lot of guys they may still be the same, but he's a big dude and I think his got some lingering health issues. I just don't think he can jump the way he used to. Not saying he can't still help a team, but anyone who goes out and gives him a big long contract is making a huge mistake. He's starting to break down. He's an old 27.
