    Yeah. I realise most here see this thread as an opportunity to troll or make jokes or say if thats the reason he rejects us then we dont want him..but it DOES not make sense why Dwight wasnt there unless someone is naive to believe that the rockets are sso disorganised franchise that leave everything to luck and last minute decisions. Or smth emergency hapoened to dwight that we dont know.
    it speaks not only to this situation but more about Dwight himself and why he wont help out recruit a big star.

    People should be sacrificing their own personal success to be there to help the Rockets win the title.

    nah the best guy is next draft ben simmons, he's huge already for a forward most likely will be around the 6-7 to 6-9 range playing the 3.

    exam should of always gone to college in the states but wanted to protect his draft stock. he played against scrubs in melbourne and dominated

    Exactly. And if Dwight was not there because he feels like the Rockets acquiring LMA hurts his personal success, than thats something everyone involved needs to take into account. Maybe LMA doesnt want to play alongside a center who doesnt want him there. This could explain why Phoenix, after signing Chandler and having him at their meeting, suddenly appears to be on his short list.

    I think this was a shot at the Lakers and "Jeannie" Buss, not your spelling. At least I hope so. If so,......brilliant.

    Stupid? How so? I'm not even saying I know whether or not Dwight wants him here, or if his absence from the meeting was an indication of such. Maybe he literally couldnt get out of his Australian obligations and his absence was truly unavoidable, but I was mainly referring to the perception of his absence to the LMA camp. Maybe LMA took Dwight not being there the wrong way. I think having him there would have definitely helped the pitch. I just cant really see any reason how the Suns; even after signing Chandler; suddenly passed the Rockets on his short list. (If they indeed have)

    What are you talking about?

    Dwight was only on the Lakers for 1 year, not 2. What does LMA living in LA have to do with anything? He couldn't hear the news that Dwight and Kobe didn't get along (at all) from the news anywhere else? I live in Houston and I knew that. Not only that, it sounds like LMA wasn't all that impressed with Kobe in their meeting anyway so he probably doesn't care whether or not Howard got along with him.
