Josh Howard might be a good fit in Boston, but the Jazz aren't willing to deal.
CSNE - CELTICS REPORT: WEDNESDAY, MAR. 14

The Celtics are giving it their best shot, reportedly.

Though Danny Ainge has made it clear that he doesn't plan on trading Rajon Rondo, he has been working to make deals. One of them reportedly involves Utah forward Josh Howard.

The only problem? The Jazz aren't interested in dealing him.

According to Yahoo!, the Celtics, Knicks, Lakers and Spurs have all shown interest in Howard. But the Jazz aren't cooperating.

Howard is averaging 8.8 points and 3.8 rebounds this season. At 6-foot-7 he has the ability to defend both forwards and guards, and would likely be able to spell Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in spurts.

Sounds like a waste with Pietrus around unless they are planning on moving him for someone else?
