So lets say we do get DH. What would convince him to sign a full contract and stay in Houston? Is he after money and fame? Will his market be bigger in NJ or Houston(China factor playing along Lin)?
A factor will be where else he can sign. It looks like that won't be either New York team or the Lakers. I think the only team he could choose over us would be the Mavs.
Since when did pro basketball become about sucking up to players and whoring your self out in the hope of gaining approval. It's pathetic. We can do this on our own terms. We dont have to get our knees dirty.
You. You the fan. All I need you to do is get on twitter and tweet @DwightHoward and tell him how much you want him to stay in Houston. He will see your messages live. Tweet #DH12Houston in your replies. Show him some love #RedNation! Ha, in all seriousness, ditto what others have said. Money and possible lack of other options--Dallas? Atlanta? Mystery team? With that said, I could potentially see him walking away--where I don't know.
He's not coming out until he hits free agency. He'll get max money then - pure and simple, it's all about the Benjamins.
