    Exactly what has happened. Now all the meaningless things actually mean it was Houston all along.

    GOOD LORD...you are right! WOW lol.
    I thought a small yet big sign was when he posted him john wall and yi jinlian speaking CHINESE right after the rockets meeting. Why would he do that?

    When Dwight scored 16 points and got 18 rebounds in the last game of the season against us, it was clear he was only knocking us down in the standings so that we would need him this year.

    I thought we were the favorite beginning with cyberx's very first post on the matter... "Chances of Dwight to Houston Improving" or whatever that thread was titled. That was the first real sign that we were even on his radar.

    No, the Rockets haven't raised season tickets prices every year.

    When they raised the season ticket prices a couple days before D12 announcement, the web site was changed to require a Houston area zip code for purchasing season tickets. This was an indication that the Rockets through they were going to get D12.

    I thought the video about speaking Chinese was a vague hint too.

    Finally, D12 rep tweets "what should I tweet next" and DocRocket tweets "... faint"

    I'd like to find out if he really had people here looking at houses. Where is that realtor?

    Was it ever confirmed that the flight info posted really meant that Rockets brass flew to Aspen?

    The guy who posted this "news" on Twitter claimed that he had been hacked.

    I knew it when he scored 18 points, got 15 assists and grabbed 24 rebounds. 18 is R, 15 is O, and 24 is X. ROX duh, you guys are reaching.

    I was gonna post this because it was overlooked. He capitalized chinsese and it was his last tweet for over one week. His tweets before that were you know it and wow lol. He would tweet like 30 times per hour and he decided that would be his last tweet until his decision.

    When i saw him at the galleria during all star weekend and he came out of the foot locker store. Every one was snapping pics and he was looking around like he was enamored by the situation. He didnt know what he was supposed to do, but he liked the attention and the people.

    Sure enough, I did a search on his Twitter history. In 20,000 tweets, he's used the term "ya'll" only once before.

    I think this was a bigger sign than we recognized.

    I actually predicted D12 -> Lakers from Orlando.

    For 1 year only.

    Then leaving for Houston.

    :grin:
