    I'm surprised Breakfast Klub hasn't offered Dwight lifetime breakfast. Seems to be a popular place with our players.

    1) "post playing career"
    2) Lakers have BEST Fans. You know, the ones that are booing you and want to chuck you to the curb.
    3) When Phil is not around, she is there for you.

    If only people took the time to read the last 5 pages before posting a tweet/link... This thread would only be about 60 pages. The reposting and reposting of tweets and links on this thread is getting pretty bad.

    can confirm I remember reading a lot of his columns growing up

    I would trust his opinion over chris palmer thats for sure

    heisler was also on la radio earlier in the week if i recall that LA was actually in the lead so if his source(s) are now saying different thats a good thing

    Best 3 Sources to Follow:

    1) Adrian Wojnarowski
    2) David Aldridge
    3) SAS

    Those actually have inside info (yes, even the obnoxious SAS). I wouldn't believe anyone outside of them right now. But they only report when its legit, so don't expect many updates.

    sorry to keep chiming in, but you are barking up the wrong tree trying to create a LA vs Houston lifestyle battle.

    like others have said, it's a subjective debate which is ultimately, for a NBA player, a completely moot discussion.

    LA is a wonderful place to live. my anecdotal evidence is proof of that.

    I don't care if you stayed here for a couple of months, visited a few times, or have a cousin who lives in Orange County.

    now go sign with the Rockets, Dwight.

    So I guess we can all agree Palmer is full of it.

    If you cling too tightly, you're gonna lose control.

    So Chris Palmer says Houston would be a great landing spot for Dwight, but he doesn't think it will happen (now Houston fans follow him without being angry).

    Then he says he's hearing Dwight wants to stay with the Lakers (making Lakers fans happy, so now they will follow him).

    And now he says he is texting someone close to Dwight so everyone hold tight (now everyone follows him).

    My guess is his next tweet will say that Houston is still in the running. Then when Dwight signs with either Houston or Lakers, he'll be able to say he was all over it.

    Houston fans think he is full of it, Laker fans think he is credible. People form opinions based on agenda.

    In case you hadn't realized yet, Chris Palmer is just the r****ded nephew of the ESPN president. Gave him a job to be nice.

    sounds like Chris Palmer's source is exclusively with the lakers who is trying to put a full court spin for themselves.

    other people have either Rockets, Fegan or Dwight's people as sources -- right now Dwights people probably the most reliable

    Rockets will spin in their benefits
    Fegan will spin to benefit him and his clients (not just dwight)
