    I've heard that Morey and Les aren't even going to speak when they go see Dwight. Hakeem, Dikembe and Yao are all going to talk him into staying.

    Sounds like someone who is getting ready for who will be their scapegoat if and when Dwight walks.

    The Lakers should have Jeanie use the same recruiting trick she used for her roller hockey team. http://articles.latimes.com/1995-05-14/news/ls-376_1_parallel-universe

    Because the Lakers lost to the D'Antoni coached Suns a few times, includes the playoff, they were very impressed with the way the Sun played. That's why they got Nash, then D'Antoni. What they didn't realize was that they don't have the good, young legs to run that system.

    I think Tom Callahan Jr is pointed at the mark Dwight left.

    Dwight Howard will choose the team that gives him the best chance to win. "This is about getting him back to the Finals again," source said.

    Source close to Dwight Howard: "The order of the meetings doesn’t reflect how Dwight feels about the teams."

    Source close to Dwight Howard made it clear that he has yet to make up his mind or cross any teams off of his list. "It's wide open

    Source close to Dwight Howard was adamant that the center isn't leaning toward a specific team: "He's going to weigh all of his options."

    What I learned when writing papers is that you should make your strongest paragraphs should be your first and last because those will leave the strongest impressions. Houston first and Lakers last. I feel that it reflects the leaders in the race for dwight
