Yeah, I'm convinced that - no matter what the plan is next season - it makes sense to sign Howard to a multi-year contract. Even if the plan is to tank, he's probably not going to be 100% for a chunk of the year. Because his price will be low, getting him would not get in the way of making any other moves. This is a guy who's had tremendous +/- numbers for a winning team - the previous 3 seasons were +8.1, +9.1, and +7.1. He was +24.9 in his brief stay here. The Wiz have a LONG way to go to be a contender, and he can speed up the process and let them focus on getting a big and backcourt help.
