No such thing as a 5 year sign and trade any more with new collective bargaining agreement. It's the main reason the Lakers were thought to have a chance at keeping Dwight.
Dwight finally showed he's his own man. Fegan probably still wanted him to sign with the lakers. Thank you, OKC and Sam Presti. Thank you, James Harden. When you said on the plane from OKC, "We will change this city," you did it, man. Thank you, Dwight, for not choosing HOU last year. Because you enabled us to get Harden in the first place. Thank you, Daryl, for your relentless pursuit of your plan though the media and fanbase started losing hope and started calling you out. You finally did it!

Daryl Morey, you magnificent chubby man. I love you. How far have the Rockets come from July 2012 where they had no Lin, no Asik, no Harden. Just Parsons. Now bring on LMA.

ESPN: "What does Kobe think of all this? What will he tweet?" GOT DAYUM get off your knees and quit blowing him all the time
I don't think Bev knew first, I think Morey isn't going to confirm until Dwight officially does out of respect.
