If Stein is reporting it, then it's sealed.

Howard, whose infamous indecisiveness during the accurately-dubbed "Dwightmare" in Orlando added to the decline of his once-sparkling image, was on a plane from Aspen, Colo. to Los Angeles when reports surfaced claiming that – despite a USA TODAY Sports report revealing his decision to join the Rockets – he was having second thoughts. The news sparked the latest public bashing of Howard in the social media world, with fans and media alike criticizing him for what appeared to be another dose of unnecessary drama. The problem, Howard said, is that it never happened.

"That was not the case," Howard told USA TODAY Sports. "I was very upset about it when all that stuff started to come out because that's not what was going on. I decided … the night before it came out, and my thinking was, 'Let me get back to L.A. and sit in front of (Lakers general manager) Mitch (Kupchak) and give the Lakers that respect.' I wanted to tell them in person.

"There was no (thought of), 'Oh man, hold up, let me think about this again.' The night before, when I had decided, I sat down with everybody – my agent, my best friend who was there, and my bodyguard, and we talked. I said this is where I want to go. I told my Dad that this is where I want to go. I said tomorrow, when I get home, we're going to talk to the Lakers. I'm going to tell the other teams on the phone, and that's what I did."

For all the missteps that Howard had made in recent years, this plan was sound. He had met with the Rockets, Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, and the Atlanta Hawks inside a Bel-Air hotel, then retreated to the Rocky Mountains to make his decision with a clear mind. After talking to Kupchak, with whom he had an extremely positive relationship, he would announce his decision to the world on Twitter.

"I just didn't like the way that it happened," Howard said. "I wanted to wait as long as possible until I talked to the Lakers. I didn't want Mitch to turn on his TV or get an e-mail from somebody saying this is what Dwight did and I didn't contact him first. I wanted to give him the respect, and the Lakers the respect, in telling them before it got put out there.

"I felt like for them it wouldn't have been personal enough. They were the team that decided to take me from Orlando, so I wanted to give them that respect – especially Mitch, because that was somebody who I had conversations with all summer. I wanted to let him know personally, and to thank him for the opportunity to play for the Lakers."

You got some bad sources Broussard. They aren't in Dallas. And you don't think Cuban could get his info from Fegan or anyone else? Come on.

He it's. If it's Broussard reporting it you know it's wrong.
