If Howard keeps this up, he should be the starter in the near future at the SF position, which would allow Corbin to start Hayward at the SG position. The lineup I would like to see going forward is the following:

PG: Harris Watson Tinsley
SG: Hayward Burks Bell
SF: Howard Miles Evans
PF: Favors Millsap
C: Jefferson Kanter (Fesenko)

I'd still like to see the Jazz re-sign Fesenko as insurance for injuries and to give them someone who can guard the really big centers in the league.

Howard needs to be re-signed for the foreseeable future. Howard has not shot the ball as well as most people would have liked but has been one of the very very very few bright spots on this squad so far. He has been tough and gritty and will not back down from anyone, best signing in recent years. Amnesty Bell and put Howard at the 3 while sliding Hayward to the 2 and we will have a solid starting 5, while I also think Milsap is best served coming off the bench. Sap has not blown me away with his play this season at all. He needs to be our 6th man.

@Bluewombat8 .....Amnesty Clause time limit is over this year ...it can be taken next year only now . And its a one time thing ...so it should be used on a player who is heavily paid and its not needed . Bell is taking only $3M , it ll be foolish to Amnesty Him .

@Draft dumbie, Fesenko has already signed with Golden State.

@Bluewombat8, Howard is kind of growing on me because he plays hard but He hasn't shot well since his injury 2 years ago. He's going to get his points because he shoots a lot and at 31 I think he's just a filler until Burks and Hayward are ready. The one they need to worry about losing is Evans because the way he is being overlooked and under used he'll go somewhere that will let him play as soon as his contract is up. The greatest need the Jazz have is someone who can knock down the 3 and keep the defenses honest.
