    Oh man, saw "official:Rockets land..." and got excited that we landed one of the top guys this night.

    Whoever bumped this thread may be damned. :(

    Here is an interesting thought. Three of the teams Dwight had on his list when he was a free agent are now in the Conference Finals

    Probably the happiest day I've had as a Rockets fan (Post Championship) second to winning game 7 last season. If I had to go back I wouldn't change a thing because it felt so good to finally land a big fish.

    Agree with all of this.

    Plus let's face it, for Rockets fans, the offseason is our playoffs. Has been for years.

    Let this loser opt out. Where ever he goes he will be a loser as an individual on the court. He needs to be carried by others to win.

    Well said. Very pleased with the Dwight signing, even if it's time for both sides to move on.

    Agree. It's time to move on, but the man did not disappoint in the playoffs the last couple of years.
