    If he opts out, Houston will meet with him and tell him what their motives are. All he sees is what the media tells him.. isn't around Dwight as much as our guys are

    Bulls are all hype. If they are not drafting a star they aren't getting a star.

    I'm sure a lot of players aren't crazy about Dwight as a person but what he did in the playoffs last year should tell them that he brings it when it matters most.

    You're kidding right? We lost. Empty stats against Robin Lopez and a team with poor interior D means crap.

    Heh any time someone says "empty stats" to try and diminish a great performance in a losing effort it's worth a laugh.

    Was it Dwight's fault that:

    -Terrence Jones couldn't stop anyone?
    -our starting shooting guard don't know what defense is?
    -our starting small forward didn't play above average defense in the series?
    -our coach is a moron?
    -our reserve point guard made huge mental errors?

    Howard performed as well as anyone could have hoped during the playoffs. If you want a refresher on his numbers, here it goes:

    25.8 ppg/ 13.4 rpg/ 2.6 bpg/ .576 FG%

    Lest we forget, Robin Lopez had wide open looks because Howard was either giving help on defense because he has a bunch of matadors as teammates or the game plan, for some genius reason, decided to put Harden on Lopez.

    Nevermind that the numbers Howard put up in this year's playoffs is second only to the year he took his team to the Finals.

    This is the first time I've seen someone put blame on Howard for the Rockets not advancing past the 1st Round. Yea because HE was the main reason why the Rockets lost. :rolleyes:

    I don't doubt at all that the Bulls have a good shot at getting Anthony.

    I wonder how much that is from the hit Dwight took from the LA media and how much of that is from his experiences playing with him in the olympics and all-star teams in the east.

    I would think if anything LeBron would be the one guy that could understand all that Dwight went through last season leaving LA and getting trashed for it considering he had to live through 'The Decision' fiasco.


    Personally I don't believe LeBron would be Houston bound even if the cap space becomes available, but I do believe he would love to actually play with a dominant inside force since he was never available to do that yet in his career (a washed up Ben Wallace and even more washed up Shaq do not count) and having interior force of some sort traditionally wins in the playoffs and finals

    ...........You know this how? Considering LeBron is on vacation with his family.....You have an inside source that has found out LeBron isn't crazy about Dwight............

    Unless this was known information before.......

    He picked up the horn and got Bron (he calls him Bron because they are like that) and asked him how he feels about Howard and Bron said: "I don't like him as a person."

    If LeBron doesn't like Dwight as a person I have a feeling he didn't like him before he left for vacation as well.
