    Yes yes yes... developing his body so he doesn't have to rush his shots is going to be key for him. Hell... DMO could show Dwight a move or two in the post.

    No he's not. In about 2 or 3 weeks, Dwight Howard will be a member of the Rockets. This is all posturing and Dwight's agent found the perfect idiot mouthpiece to use to do it. In fact, the best news here is how much Howard has soured on LA. Harden and Parsons trumps anything Dallas has, and Dwight knows it. He also wants to win, which Houston gives him a better chance to do going forward.

    Still, the news at one point last year was that Houston was a main target and just like now his decision was up and down until he was finally traded.

    If we were just going to use Howard in the same way we use Asik as a role player we wouldn't and shouldn't be giving him a max contract in the first place. I don't think Mchale is so married to his system that he wouldn't change it if he had the best center in the league. I also think having a much more reliable pick and roll finisher in Howard would help both Lin and Harden significantly. Asik has been better than expected offensively, but he still drops many of the passes that would have been wide open dunks if Howard was the one catching them. If Howard comes to the Rockets it's because it is his choice, a significant difference from every other team he has played for, as far as drama about not wanting to be there goes.

    Well that and just adjusting to the pace of the NBA game. All Euros have trouble with it at first, IMO DMo did pretty good all things considered. He's much further along offensively than Dirk was after his first year in the NBA.

    What you don't know is that someone on Shark Tank invented the fountain of youth. Cuban decided to not air it and purchased 100% ownership of the invention. So Dwight would be playing with prime Dirk and VC next year!

    Like Microsoft, after hearing such negative feedback, LA Lakers decide to listen t the fans and revamp the campaign.

    Agreed, I'm the biggest DMO fan around. I see skills.

    The rumored comments from Dwight's people were always that he wasn't interested in Houston, fans held up hope still because Morey had said in the past that he was willing to trade for Dwight regardless of having a commitment to stay, with hopes that the money and being here for a year would change his mind.

    And they won't. The Lakers have had months to fix this mistake and they haven't yet. It's not like they didn't know this in April.

    You DO know that free agency hasn't even begun yet, right?

    If Dwight Stays in LA, he obviously doesn't care about winning. Houston is ready to win now.

    Exactly, if they give in now and fire the coach, all it will do is further hurt Dwight Howard's reputation. His reputation has been hurt enough by LA, it's time for him to leave so he can start rebuilding it. He was universally recognized as the best center in the NBA before spending one year on a scrub Lakers team. Bad Lakers teams are a cancer to any players' career. No one wants to be the next Cedric Ceballos or Nick Van Exel.

    While I respect your insider status, I'm laughing at this. The Lakers knew Dwight hated D'Antoni's system all of last season, and have had two months since the season ended to rectify the problem. If they haven't fired him by now, they aren't doing so. It's not like LA can't afford the buyout on top of Brown's buyout.

    Dwight is coming to Houston.

    Jalen rose brings up GREAT point!!

    Dwight's agent and Mark Cuban are really good friends( apparently)

    is it hard to believe Dwight is getting pushed from his agent to go to Dallas?

    Cyberx already said Dwight's agent doesn't like houston

    It's all making sense ( I guess)

    I am still worried that Lakers may just fire MDA and get Phil...
