I don't think him waiting til today should be taken as a sign that he didn't want to be here. I think he just didn't want to be seen as eager to get the hell out of L.A. I do agree however that the longer this drags on with no decision, the more it looks like he wants to sign with Golden State. That doesn't necessarily mean we're leverage, but we're definitely #2 on his list.
Howard knows we can get Smith if we want him. Doing something now doesn't help if we don't get Howard. If Morey panics it shows he is weak. Im pretty sure he knows how to play poker.
I hope we get him, but in the end EH, we're still the rockets, and we still have an outsanding center in asik.
Imagine the meltdown on here if GSW pulls the deal without losing Lee, curry or Thompson.... That's a pretty stout nucleus of Curry, Howard, Iguodala, Lee and Thompson.
im 680+ pages invested....i dk how ill react if we dont land dwight....i dk what will happen to CF...do we even exist?!
Idiots are getting mad at a guy who hasnt said anything for days now. No matter what you do people are going to hate you
Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBA The Dwight saga wouldn't be so soap opera-ey if so many people weren't chasing the story. Both sides are playing the game, blame both.
And I'm not sure why Dwight would make a decision today. Trades are going down and everything is in flux. Seems like he would let all the teams make their moves before he made any kind of decision. He can't even sign until the 10th.
