Unfortunately he didn't and thus he's still in his ear and is THE one person who can persuade him the most.
I agree with you, I think Dwight just needed ANYTHING to validate his choice to remain a Laker and he got that when meeting with the Lakers. Houston still has a shot, but not counting on it.
Broussard: I would say Houston. Dallas has a shot. Dwight wants to be the face of the franchise. That's what hinders LA. Dirk is willing to give him the keys to the car. Kobe won't do that. Houston, it's the best basketball situation, win immediately and can win in the future. Dallas and LA are saying 2014. What can Dallas put around him in 2013? Not much right now. It'll be tough for 2013. They're saying we'll have tons of money and Dirk will take a pay cut. His agent is close with Cuban and Carlisle. Dwight is looking at that as long term. Any feeling from anyone as to where he's leaning or who made the best impression? Before the meetings, I was hearing strongly it was Dallas or Houston. I don't want to write the Lakers out. They've done a good job. Kupchak showing up Sunday night was good. The billboards helped. Their presentation has helped. I still think they're behind the Texas teams or Houston team. I talked to someone in the Lakers meeting and said it went well but I'm not sure what he's going to do. They said he was indecisive. Dwight is a people pleaser. Mad scramble for Bynum after Howard signs? Dallas has reached out to him. Houston - Smith & Iguodala. These teams have plan B if they don't get Dwight. Bynum is interesting. He's not working out for teams. He wants $9-12 million a year. How many years though? I think he'll end up getting a good deal. 3-4 years, around $50 million.
Dwight Howard registration weibo.com(twitter in China) In 9 am July 3nd Beijing(6 pm July 2nd,LA time),Dwight registration weibo(a site like twitter very popular in China), he say hello to Chinese fans,and post a video include a interview with John Wall and Yi Jianlian. By now, he have gained 71792 followers and more than two thousands re-tweet or comment.Very BIG part of these convince him to join Rockets. Is it a sign that Dwight will focus to develop market in China and sign with Rockets? The link is http://weibo.com/dwighthoward
What if Dwight gets a hair cut from the barber and he doesn't like it Lot of pressure on that first hair cut.
I just don't understand this, Miami and OKC are vastly smaller markets and their respective superstars blow away D12 and CP3 as far as endorsements go. We've been through this before, but it's not where you are that gives you the endorsements, but how good you are at your job. Kobe isn't getting tons of endorsements because he plays in LA, he gets them because he's a good basketball player that's won multiple championships.
This could be huge. I guess he really want to surpass Kobe his popularity in China. Or maybe Yi Jian Lian will be signed with the Rockets next season :grin:
i dont think howard has the guts to make such a bold move like leaving LA to go to houston. he's utterly gutless and weak minded individual who has yet to mature emotionally and mentally: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/efFboJGDPVQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> To me, howard is a unskilled punk beyotch and id much prefer bynum + josh smith. we would probably get to keep asik and Lin.
and if he does find the balls to leave LA i dont mind it either. he becomes an asset for morey if he starts to ***** the bed.
