I don't blame him if he doesn't want to. So many people here just flat out hate on him for absolutely no reason calling him a fake insider and such.
I think it's just the thought of nothing happening. Last year I kinda had a gut feeling Dwight was coming... This year I just don't know
Even last year there was a huge scare that Golden State was going to steal Dwight from us. The Lakers were jokes the entire off season that year, but it wasn't cut and dry Houston then and neither is it now.
And the Clippers... And the Lakers... And Mavs... Just follow Woj and Amick and forget about everyone else.
Even if we don't get a big name FA, we still have 2 superstars, 1 budding all-star, a 2nd team All Defense PG, ~6-8 MM in cap room, and a plethora of smaller assets, I.e. TJ & draft picks. If GSW get Love, sure we can start to worry. Otherwise, we should continue to move forward & progress. This team won 54 last year. Game changing superstar FAs shouldn't be necessary.

Even though it was a good trade, omer was demanding a trade and had is "injury", we still took a big hit by loosing him. We have a complete hole at our backup C spot, neither Jones or Dmo can fill. Unless Okafor signs and returns to form, there is really no FA's who can fill that space either.
I think all those free agents will do what is best for them. I don't think they've made up their minds, so it's impossible to get a warm feeling about it. If they can figure out a way to get paid and all play together, I'd assume they will. Just my opinion, but we knew we had the best situation for Dwight. We are not sure if they can negotiate a deal where Lowry, Lebron, Bosh, DWade and Carmelo can play together on one team. If I want to win, I'm playing with that 5 over Dwight and Harden. So until they figure out that they are going to to make about 6 million a piece in Philadelphia, we won't get a warm feeling. At least we are not Miami! Having zero idea what will happen! Could lose all three, could make another run... who knows!

@Thedocrocket: One thing: I might know a couple nice people, but the odds of being right R much better w/what CyberX says, than anything I say. Fact.
