Cool. I grew up in Billings and also went to school in Missoula. After living in Houston for 21 years I moved back to Billings last fall.
Covers twitter says oddsmakers have moved the Rockets from 25-1 to 15-1 to win it all. 12-1 if we get Dwight.
The "something hug" is that he will be the #1 man as Dirk has said he will concede that spot. In Houston, he is still going to be competing with Harden for the spotlight.
I am from north of Missoula. Billings is a stink hole and one very ugly town. Very typical in Eastern Montana.
It wasn't long ago that Harden accepted a role as a pure #3/4 guy in OKC. If Dwight has any sense, he knows that Harden is not Kobe. He's a teammate and a leader, not just a leader.
Does Howard really care about this? He was asking about the potential to sign a "third superstar", which makes it seem like he'd rather play with other star players.
I'm surprised we're only 12-1 if we get Dwight. With our front office's ability to make additional good moves, we're right there with the Heat and Thunder.

Kobe is gonna comeback with let me teach you how to use a condom so you dont get them all pregnant...
Still not buying Dallas. Unless Cuban has me completely fooled, the look on his face was of a man that knew he'd "lost" when he left the hotel. If he knew he had a chance he wouldn't have replied "it was 'FUN'". There would have been a much more diplomatic answer (yes, even from Cuban). His reaction and body language was how a very self assured and cocky dude acts - almost trying to put on a front. If he's THAT good of a poker player I guess I'll have to eat crow.
It's either the Lakers or Rockets...any discussion of another team is pure crap. Howard is making his decision by Friday...if he was going to the Mavericks, he would wait a week or more until the Mavericks are in a position to be able to sign him. That's not happening. 80% Houston 20% Los Angeles 0% any other team
Sounds like another team meetings and more "hitting the reset button" that the press talked about all 2012-2013 season. I hope that's not lost on Dwight.
That's what I got from it, he didnt stop at all.. It was Fun.. they knew his pitch don't add up to the facts: Old, in Cap Hell. Ohh Dwight I have HD.Net I have my own Network. I'll give you your own Show.. Dwight Does Dallas! :grin:
Mavericks still have to clear space. The fact is Cuban loves guys like Marion and he's not trading him until he gets that verbal from Dwight it seems....either that or no one wants Marion.
