    Stein is a Mavs homer and all around Rockets hater, until someone credible reports this I'll consider it just trolling.

    Honestly, it's better to know now than get disappointed later on.

    Now we can focus our attention elsewhere, as we should have been from the beginning.

    I remember when him and other ESPN people kept saying "Dwight is confirmed going to LA" during his free agency.

    Stein is very credible, and all the article did was basically reiterate that "sources" point towards a two year re-up (last yr player option) w/ the thunder being the most likely scenario over joining this shaky ass franchise.

    GSW and SAS were always the frontrunners in stealing him this offseason

    That's what you get when you a quit and half ass for an entire season.

    He's not credible when it comes to Rockets or Mavericks stories. He also once reported that Houston wasn't on Dwight's list of teams he'd consider in FA....the guy just simply can't help himself when it comes to things like that.

    Exactly. He's a joke, majority of ESPN is though.

    I'm not saying that it's not correct but KD has one of the tightest circles, nothing get out from his camp. He has been very explicit that he's not saying anything about free agency since the end of the season. Why would something leak now?

    Stien's sources might end up being right but probably coincidentally and not from KDs camp.
