    It probably is frustrating being the backstop on a team with a matador at point guard.

    Guess what Dwight? Now you are the backstop on a team with matadors at PG AND SG.

    :)

    I personally like Broussard. He may not be right all of the time but he just reports what he is told.

    I'm sorry Ms. Broussard
    I am for real!
    Never meant to make your son's sources cry
    I apologize a trillion times
    I'm sorry Ms. Broussard
    I am for real!
    It's not my fault he chose to lie
    Still I apologize a trillion times.

    Maybe it already is official? Maybe it will be official Saturday?

    I guess it's true Stern muted the Rockets (regarding everything Dwight Howard). :p

    It seems like until the other transactions take place (Philly's Jrue H trade, then the Royce trade) the Rockets can't sign Dwight or comment on him. To make matters worse, Holliday is literally on holiday (honeymoon) and there are reports that his trade may not be finalized until next week.

    That would make for an interesting fanfest on Saturday!

    fanfest

    Does anyone have any info on the fan fest this Saturday? Like time, location? Also, if the Holiday deal isn't done until next week, would they even be allowed to have a fan fest (without Dwight actually signing yet)?

    I keep hearing Dwight wants to be the #1 option but I find this hard to believe. Wouldn't he have been the number 1 if he stayed in LA or Orlando. As far as I'm concerned its James Hardens team.

    My frat brother (John) ran into Dwight pimping Htown gear. John just moved to Htown 2 DAYS AGO and this was his welcome at the mall! :eek:

    Dwight pimping Rockets gear. I still have to pinch myself. The most coveted free agent of 2013 chooses Houston over the storied Lakers.
