Josh Howard deal a steal for Washington Wizards?

Josh Howard returning to the Wizards
This isn't going to be the last time you see me in a Wizards uniform. (Photo by John McDonnell/The Washington Post) Josh Howard played just four games for the Washington Wizards last season, but that apparently was all the time that both sides needed to decide that the relationship...
