    Dwight Howard needs someone to believe in and a whole lot of space to breathe in

    Yeah, I did some digging and it looks like the guy graduated from high school last month. Color me skeptical.

    He looks like a 12 year old, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say:

    "Not very."

    This offseason just feels different from the past few. I actually feel like we have a shot at getting the premier guy.

    So much fun, reminds me of the offseason we sent Stevie, Cat, and Cato on there way for Mcgrady(wish I could change my username now).

    According to my sources (coachbadlee), Rockets don't have a chance at Dwight and will stick to Terrence "Lesser Dwight" Jones.:p

    This is one of the perfect reasons why I should've just ignored him. This tweet gave me a nice heartily chuckle when I first read it.

    Lot of folks underestimate Howard's character and misread his intentions. Big part of the drama.

    I think he was insinuating that the LA Press are very bias. They are so bias that when Dwight signs with us, they will all have a concession speech instead of unbiased, objective news reporting.

    Can we ban Chris Palmer tweets? This guy just seems bored right now. Melo/Ellis=Westbrook/Durant.

    How did he get a job for ESPN? Sending my resume now.

    I can't think of any circumstance in which I would trust Chris Palmer's NBA information over Mark Heisler's.

    Here's some info on Heisler:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-heisler/

    So, the guy has been in the business probably about as long as Palmer's been alive. If you've been around that long, you're likely going to have some good contacts.

    That doesn't mean Palmer isn't right, but I'm not taking his information over Heisler's.

    I kind of wish the Rockets would have been the last team to meet with. It's always nice to get the last word in. Would be the one freshest in memory.

    What can Phil promise though? He isn't involved in player personnel. He's not a coach. Has he even signed on as a consultant yet? If anything he's just the boss's boyfriend. Is he going to bring his rings to show Dwight? Too bad that team isn't constructed to win a ring as is.
