    Maybe Hakeem could also practice with him and teach him some moves free of charge if he comes to Houston. He might have told him that lol.

    Hakeem should convince Lebron if he really wants to help Houston get a star

    according to basketball reference, D12 has made $102,776,774 just from the Magic and Lakers. even with income from other sources, I am 85% certain he has less than $10 million dollars in his bank account right now

    d12 played in 76 of the 82 regular season games last year. 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks in 35.8 minutes per game. his career numbers are even better but lets just go with last year. that isnt a "star?"

    I never or hardly seen an 85% free shooter missed at the line....so i'll take Olajuwon's words as 100% done deal. Also, he doesn't want to say 100% because that would be too arrogant....so instead he chose a random number...a higher number.

    This is excellent news cause he was saying before that his choice was Lakers a while ago but it seems Rockets have put in a big effort to get him

    I'm pretty sure Dream did successfully predict that Dwight would end up in LA last year. This bodes well.

    Would it be 100% legal for the Rockets to now pay Hakeem his fees on an annual basis for the sole purpose of providing quarterly tutoring to Dwight?

    IIRC he charges $100k for each person he trains. If he offers that training 4 times a year, would come up to $400k - I think, if legal, that would be a wise investment by the Rockets, and an excellent bargaining chip to convince Dwight to join.
