    It wouldn't surprise me if this list evolves, like if the Hornets were to clear cap space for Dwight or if Paul in some bizarre miracle ends up here without the Rockets giving up too many of their role players.

    Dirk has a lot of game left in him.

    It's going to be the Lakers or Nets, so either LA gets him or NYC.

    Not a surprising list, given what we've already heard lately, but it is an unusual one.

    You have last year's champion... a former champion who just lost a key player... a team who "sucks" and doesnt have a lot of talent and his current team that is basically stuck and not going anywhere...

    It's all over the place.

    NJ is actually quite attractive since they are moving to Brooklyn.

    Also, what big man wouldn't want to play with one of the best PG in the league?

    This should put an end to all those hopeless Howard to Houston posts in the GARM.

    Once we beat Dallas in the playoffs next year, Dwight Howard will add Houston to the list.

    It still doesn't change the fact that it's different from everywhere else. I'm not saying there's no reason to go, there just seems to be different reasoning for every location. I'm sure he'll say winning a ring is one reason, but all those teams are at different stages of winning.

    Not confusing at all. The pattern is obvious. First, remove Orlando, so he wants to either live in a nice city or play for the current champion.

    NY, LA, or World Champs. That's it. Simple.

    Why did he leave out the Knicks and the Clippers, if he wants to live in NY or LA?

    Howard is a numbskull, forget about him, do not even want him in Houston. Rather take a first round pick so we can work start again.

    He meant Houston, geography wasn't Dwight's strong point in school. Heck, sometimes he thinks California is a sub state of Canada...
