Reading Laker fans on another site talking about how they're glad Dwight's leaving so "the Lakers aren't on the hook for a contract he doesn't deserve" and that the Rockets "have a long history of fans who don't give a **** if their team wins titles." The butthurt is strong with them.
Don't believe Asik is that kind of "weak" dude. But with that said, he'll probably be shipped out anyway.
Thank You Chandler and James for a spectacular recruiting effort Dwight wanted to play with guys where he could have fun again - You guys were HUGE in making this happen !!!! Kudos !!!!
Sources tell USA Today that Dwight Howard has decided to sign with the Rockets. Per both NBA.com and Yahoo Sports, Howard is in the process of finalizing the details of his contract. He should make an official, public announcement by Friday night or Saturday morning. So after a full week of intense speculation, Howard spurns the Warriors and Lakers in favor of the Rockets. He joins superstar shooting guard James Harden in a high-octane system that ranked second in the NBA in scoring (106.0 ppg) last season. It's an ideal scheme for fantasy production. Lost in all the drama is the fact that Howard remains the game's most dominant center. He's a three-time Defensive Player of the Year with career averages of 18.3 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. We'd expect the Rockets' roster to change dramatically now that they've landed Dwight -- they have already been linked to free agent PF Josh Smith.
Half my family is from California...Someone already said "Rockets won't get past the first round as usual." They mad.
Give him 200 dollars for gas for a one way trip to LA. Do not forget to take your bang bus and all your babies mommy's. with you.
Matt Jackson called this lol. On ESPN now, 45 minutes of what should the Lakers do and nothing about what it means for Houston.
