Detroit Pistons president Joe Dumars confirmed his team is high on free agent power forward Juwan Howard, formerly a member of the Fab Five while at the University of Michigan in the early 1990s, the Detroit News reported.

The Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers also are interested in Howard. "I want to win," Howard told the Sporting News. "That has always been my goal since Day One, since I stepped foot in the NBA. I have had an opportunity to win at all levels, college and high school. Now, I am in a position that I can make a decision to go anywhere I want to go, and I am excited about that."

Howard, 30, a nine-year veteran, averaged 18.4 points and 7.6 rebounds with the Denver Nuggets in 2002-03. He has averaged 17.9 points and 7.5 rebounds for his career.

At this point, Dumars is offering Howard $4.9 million for next season, the full mid-level cap exception, according to the Detroit News.

Orlando would like to offer either the mid-level exception or a sign-and-trade that would include Magic guard Darrell Armstrong, the Detroit News reports.

"I do whatever teams want me to do," Howard told The Sporting News. "In Dallas, I was the fourth option and I accepted that role and we made it to the second round and won over 50 games. In Denver, they wanted me to be the go-to guy. I accepted and put up 19 points a game."
