@Jonathan_Feigen: Something else to consider: If Hou was frontrunner all along he could well keep it there. Is unlikely to change direction quickly this time.

Fawk. I hope nobody moves on Jack and/or Milsap before we get dropped (if it happens). I'd be OK with those 2.
Why would DaWHITE want to go to Golden Poops (i mean STATES), when the very players that he want to play with are being traded? Don't think so. What's so attractive about that?? Also, if Golden POOPS (i mean States) think they have any realistic chance of getting Howard, why wouldn't they move Bogut's contract to clear more space so they can sign him outright and keep all the good players? Don't make sense.
seriously what is wrong with some people, they have done a great job to just get us in this position..............show some loyalty
nothing wrong with Woj's tweets. They make perfect sense. He is saying Dwight had ruled out the Warriors, but that was BEFORE they signed Iggy and put themselves in a real position to sign and trade for him. The Warriors have not been notified they are out of the race - but the Mavs have. So it stands to reason that he may again be considering them, otherwise they likely would have been notified at the same time as the Mavs. (But then, I haven't heard if the Hawks have been notified)
@KBergCBS: Their chase for Dwight Howard over, the Mavs now begin pursuit of other free agents, including Warriors guard Jarrett Jack, source says. Cue angry Cuban gif
Why is Dwight still considering the Lakers?! He's burnt too many bridges there by now. The fans, I'd imagine, would be furious with him.
Why would the Lakers do a sign and trade to put them even deeper into the luxury Tax. They would be paying close to 60 million dollars in tax for Harrison Barnes.
