Reportedly Golden State & Atlanta today. Dallas and the Lakers on Tuesday. From there....?? July 10 is the first day he can sign. He can announce any time he wants.
It's strange though, "work with him before practice" implies more of a regular, ongoing type thing. It's hard for me to read that any other way.
How much more rep points do you want Thanks again! I am more encouraged as this progresses because the media's arguments for him to stay a Laker are decreasing. The 30 million is just laughable now after so many have reported the lack of state tax makes this a non-issue. Hahhaa Jack Nicholson the 'Anger Management / A few good men' version taking on Dwight Howard. Wonder that conversation went. Dwight saying something along the lines of wanting to speak with everybody, cause it makes him seem like he's really weighing all his options, keeping up the front about wanting a championship more than anything, basically good PR. Then Jack comes in: "I DON'T GIVE A **** ABOUT PR RIGHT NOW, I WANT YOU IN OUR HOUSE. THIS IS HOLLYWOOD FOR CHRIST SAKE!! DON'T TELL ME YOU ARE LEAVING US." Dwight: well I want a place where I can join another star to make it easier to win a championship. That's the truth. Jack: EASY, I SAY OVER-EASY YOU LITTLE ****, YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD IF YOU WANNA WIN. THE TRUTH?? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!! Dwight: I've worked hard all my life, even through injuries, so I feel I deserve a throphy. JACK: WOW, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO! Dwight: Well, in that case there's nothing more to discuss. You probably already bought season-tickets did you? Jack: YOU DAMNRIGHT I DID! Dwight: Well, the joke is on you sir. I hope you've bought a bottle of scotch, cause you're gonna need it.
Josh Smith just used Detroit to fill up his free time in free agency before sitting down with the Rockets.
I was on another forum and somebody posted Broussources reported that Dwight didnt like the pressure of following Dream's footsteps and that Hakeem made him feel small. Anyone else heard/saw this?
He reportedly said that when he was linked to the Rockets around the trade deadline and during free agency period last year.
Hakeem making him feel small? Obviously they don't know what they're talking about as Hakeem is probably THE most humble person you'll ever come across and there's NO way he'd do this to anybody!!!!! As for following in Dream's footsteps he'd have the same thing in LA behind Shaq, Kareem, Wilt and Mikan.
I think i might of herd that once, also herd he didn't want to follow shaq's footsteps and leave Orlando and going to LA, playing in shaq's shadow's blah blah blah. I call BS on all of that, i don't think he cares nearly as much as people think he does, about a lot of things. Being in LA, coach killer, being overshadowed by past players, pressure from the media...honestly i think don't Howard cares about any of that, he seems like a simple minded dude, he wants to win and have fun. **** the rest.
