    It helps explain the "quitting" business.

    Google McHale, Timberwolves, and Joe Smith.

    I can't believe Prokhorov was clumsy enough to meet in person with Howard yesterday. Howard and his people know better also. That is just too stupid to happen.

    Dwight Howard met with NJ owner Mikhail Prokhorov & GM Billy King Thurs night in Miami, sources say. Orlando was unaware if meeting

    Courtney Lee tweeted, in response to a fan question, that he's been contacting Dwight Howard everyday trying to convince him to sign with Houston.

    Could that be what this is about?

    Then New jersey called Houston and Morey picked up the phone.

    Now Morey is charged with tampering. Lol.

    Nice try Stern. I could see this strong arm tactic from a mile away. We aren't dropping the trade request for Gasol.

    I understand the crazy russian tampering. That's just how things are done in Russia, but I'm surprised that Morey wasn't being careful.

    How's the Rockets involved here then? I mean, Fegan is Courtney Lee's agent. Surely any communication can easily go from Morey to Fegan to Howard and back with absolutely no legal issues nor any evidence for anything. This is becoming insane.

    We don't know yet. Details will come out, one way or the other. Even what they're saying about NJ so far is nothing more than allegation.

    Stern is on a power trip, can't wait to see his over the top punishment to this one. New Jersey is in for a world of pain, they picked the wrong time to mess with the Dicktator

    This according to David Aldrige.

    So, what's this "at least one of the teams" business. The Magic are not sure if both made contact? Seems they are just speculating.

    One thing I do know is that Kevin Martin (and maybe others on the team) have the same agent as Dwight Howard (Dan Fegan), so it is likely that Morey has spoken with Dan Fegan recently. Whether it's about Dwight Howard or not and whether that's permitted or not I don't know. It would seem hard to prove unless there's a confession or a paper trail.

    Per Broussard just now on ESPN, the clandestine meeting was in Miami yesterday.

    Thursday night, Howard met with Nets owner and GM, in Miami. Talked about the trade possibilities. Broussard stated this on sportscenter just now. Didn't mention the Rockets. Bottom headline said Orlando wants to file tampering charges on NJ and HOU for meeting with Howard.

    Perhaps the Magic searched Howard's locker and found an iPad with Rocket stickers on it.
