    Should have sent JJ Watt, AJ and Foster along with Bun and Slim as part of a 5
    Team Houston campaign.

    Honestly though, if he's swayed by a reality show - LA can have him. I'll take a tier 2 player who loves the game and is genuinely hungry to win over an exceptional talent who is more concerned about glitz and the lifestyle.

    Any woman Rockets fans? :p

    espnW: Where will Dwight Howard end up?

    Marc Stein:

    Houston the favorite to land Dwight Howard?

    I would put them as slight favorites I would say. They have Harden and that's a ready made player the Mavs can't offer as a sidekick. I think it's close, fairly close, closer than the league consensus would suggest. I think Chris would tend to agree with me. For some reason, I think Cuban will hit it off with Dwight in that sit down setting. I still give the Mavs a chance.

    What will be their pitch?

    Boils down to a few things - we have a proven championship track record and Houston does not. Dirk will tell him I'm taking a pay cut in a year and we'll go out and get another guy. I'll be the third guy, this is your team, you don't have to share it with James Harden, you are the man. This is your team and I'm here to help. I think that appeals to Dwight. And Rick Carlisle - he's a better coach than McHale, no question. They do have a few things in their favor but Houston with Harden is more ready to compete. I think it's a tough call. I think he is coming to Texas. I have been convinced he's going to leave.

    What about the Warriors?

    I don't see it as legit and I don't think the Warriors see it as legit. It's a win to them just to be on the list but I've learned with Dwight, don't rule out anything. The Lakers to this point aren't entertaining sign and trades. You still hear so many whispers that they may rather let him go because their finances are such a mess and they need to start over instead of trying to take on expensive pieces. I don't know the Lakers want to go that route.

    I don't trust Schultz, and it would be a completely illogical move for Dwight, but it would be so typical if all this ends up with Dwight signing with our biggest rival.

    Is there a reason you don't trust Schultz?
