I believe the Schef that he'll announce by Friday. But I don't believe "it's up in the air" I think he pretty much knows, just wants to take some time to be sure...
He can announce who he's signing with whenever he wants, but the actual introduction/press conference is separate. He won't wait another week and a half to announce where he's going.
He said "press conference", not "announcement." A press conference next Friday makes sense...in Houston. Allows Yao time to fly in on the 11th.
Right, but I was just wondering why he would wait to have the press conference on July 12 instead of July 10 (the first day he can officially sign).
Wait a minute... After freaking out about this, and thinking more clearly about what was said, maybe this is what he means... Dwight Howard will announce his decision on 7/5 on who he will play for (Rockets) and then before next Friday, he will be acclimate himself with the city of Houston, meet up with Rockets organization, meet up with Harden, Parsons, Hakeem with some celebratory dinners, share some laughs, and then next friday, Rockets.COM will announce the press conference of Dwight Howard open to the public at Toyota Center!! :grin:
He's an anonymous internet source insider intern. He has to troll internet forums for course credit. If one of you gets a Dwight tattoo, and he signs with LA, he gets and A+.
Dwight cant sign until the 10th, which is next Wednesday. Press conference next Friday would sound about right.
It would be so messed up if Fegan told Dwight: "If I can't get my way, (I don't want to go to Houston) you can't get your way either!" The next day: Breaking News: Dwight Howard retires from NBA. NBA:
this is so damn agonizing.........maybe he went to aspen cuz he already knows he wants to go to houston and whats to enjoy a few days in the mountain before he annoucnes this and the whole basketball nation calls him a loser and quiter
