Funny how all of the "sources" and "those close to Dwight's thinking" are all writers in California. The fact is that no Houston reporters with "sources" are saying a thing. Point being that the Rockets are keeping their mouths shut and not giving any hints...not because there are none to pass along; moreso that they probably know something positive is going to come from it so they are keeping their mouths shut. Morey is good about not ever tipping his hand. Silence from the Rockets speaks louder to me than "sources close to Dwight's thinking" ever would. Plus, these writers in CA need web hits, so naturally they are going to spew this garbage. Sure it's possible that they could be right and DH stays on the left coast. It just all sound like a bunch of reaching to me to get the fanbase out there fired up to click on articles and re-tweet them to other fans on the left coast.
Its horse crap, if Howard signs with GSW is because of media pressure to help the Lakers. He's gonna be in Orl lite, a crappy city, a coach he's gonna get fired and a sup par supporting cast. Dream better not ever help this dude again if he doesn't sign here

his dad via Berman never got a scoop or favorable news bc I'm assuming d12 contacted gsw and said make it happen or whatever. or the kid got berated by his dad to not post anything
Welp I gotta get to work, was hoping a decision was going to be made by now but this is Dwight Howard. Gonna be sneaking on clutchfans at work every now and then to check if anything happens. All this GS talk is really making this interesting but really hope he ends up in Houston.
I saw this. Once again it's all speculation. Stein has really let me down during this whole process. I used to put him up there with Woj and Amick.
