    I've been living in Austin for 30 years now, so don't detour through here, OK?

    Hmm. I think Mitch is finally going to know how it felt to be us when we struck out on free agents.

    Dwight is in Houston if exercises some damn common sense.

    Not sure who the guy is, but FWIW...

    Was watching ESPN and heard Arash Markazi (ESPNLA.com) mention Blake Griffen:

    ESPN (Jorge Andres): You mentioned Blake Griffen, he was among the players who was speculated to also be moved, perhaps as close as the Laker locker room. Now is there any traction on moving Blake, or can the Clippers fans expect to see more dunks?

    Markazi: Jorge, they put water on that trade so quickly because Blake was so upset. I talked to an executive today that said "There is a 0.0% chance that we do that trade." So, for right now, that trade will not happen.

    At least it's another data point. :)

    If that's true, that's really great news for us. Dwight to Clippers to join CP3 was the only real challenge for us to get Dwight if he left the Lakers. I don't see Mavs and Hawksbas credible threats at the moment.

    Our odds of landing Dwight are moving up!

    Houston 55%
    Lakers 45%
    Other 0%

    Remember when people were upset that they WEREN'T getting traded to, or signing with, the Lakers?

    Seems like awhile ago.

    More good news for us, it sounds like.

    Dwight said in December that he'd leave the lakers if he felt he had a better chance of winning elsewhere.

    No one listened to him

    Apparently. They couldn't even put Please in there? How rude! They definitely cannot do this until July 1st and if the league doesn't fine them it's ridiculous.

    Funny how they're on his jock now.

    Dwight just needs to remember Kobe's big boy pants comment to remember what it'll be like again the moment he re-signs.

    But isn't he under contract until July 1st? Technically they can do this I think.

    Didn't read much about what's going on here, but I'd like to say "welcome to the internet". I've got a feeling it's going to be huge one day.
