    Dwight has successfully fooled another team! :grin:

    Dwight did more for the houston community than harden and was alot more approachable. Dwight came to The Woodlands mall and greeted everyone while signing autographs. I have never seen James Harden in public since he has joined the Rockets. Even when the Rockets have special appearances around the city for specific players it is rare that he is one of the players that shows. When is an NBA sponsored event and they make him go he's there quick

    Can't wait to see humble Dwight when Schroder and Bazemore settle for long 2s and demand Dwight to set screens for Korver.

    Good luck, Dwight. Won't miss your crappy FT shooting. If you could make FTs at at least a Hakeem clip, then we probably would have won a championship. But, every game, those were points off the board that we had to overcome. Own worst enemy.

    The Hawks and Suns have discussed a trade that sends Paul Millsap to Phoenix in exchange for multiple draft picks. (via @ChrisBHaynes)

    Why would Phoenix sacrifice their future for a guy with one year left on his contract - the following year is a player option and you can be sure he'll put himself in the free agent pool.

    Doesn't make sense.

    Also doesn't make sense why Atlanta would sign Dwight and resign Bazemore, only to move Millsap for draft picks.

    Also doesn't make sense as PHX just drafted 2 stretch 4s.

    Wish him all the well. Though he was one of the reason Rockets had no team spirit.

    You're not going to the right places. James has helped a lot of single moms and college girls in Houston.

    Adios, Dwight. I hope you are just as bad at the line for the Hawks as you were with Houston. Can't wait to hear how you're nailing 80%+ during practice.
