Juwan to return?

Forward Juwan Howard was waived to make room for the salaries of Billups and McDyess. With McDyess making it clear he would rather sit around at home all day eating peanut butter right out of the jar than be a Nugget again, the forecasted buyout eventuated, leading most of us to assume the vet big Howard would be resigned post-haste. This did not occur, with some sources saying Stan Kronke needed the money to buy the Arsenal cheerleaders new ski gear.
Hoopsworld is now reporting (8PM on the 16th in the US) that Juwan has been working out voluntarily at the Nuggets practice facility. [ http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=10621 ]
With Steven Hunter crippled, our frontcourt has looked mighty thin of late, and although I was orginally against Juwan as the answer (*COUGH* Theo Ratliff *COUGH) he was nice for us and we need him back. When Nene gets into foul trouble we are painfully weak up there. Flimsy center Chiek Samb is probably more use off the court than on. Lets hope Stan finds it in his heart to beef up the Nuggets frontcourt and put us back in the luxury!
Go Nuggets!

What do you mean that Samb is “more use off the court than on”?
I’d be fine with bringing Howard back; however, I think the Nuggets are still looking to make a move that would more effectively fix the problem you’ve described. I think he’d be a temporary stop gap.
GO BRONCOS!!!

What I mean is that
Samb is a flimsy skeleton. Until he bulks up (which I assume he has been trying to do since the Lakers drafted him) he isn’t going to be a force, particularly on D. There is no doubt that Howard is not an ideal solution; an ideal solution would be Tim Duncan or Oden. But Howard is accessible and affordable which makes him an appropriate solution.

Has anyone found the real reason McDyess has become a whining ingrat?
I am still curious of why he doesn’t want to suit up for the Nuggets, I mean why not finish his career in Denver, or is there that much bad blood.
