    What's the Chris Broussard and Ramona Shelburne relationship? They seem to be posting the exact same quotes and messages!

    Do they have the same source...






    ... each other!

    He could also be trying to get a sign and trade out of LA to get more money in Houston. I have a feeling that he is seriously thinking about taking the money even if it means playing for an aging, injured Lakers team with a media and fan base that will hammer him into the ground.

    Bingo.

    Everything else is just the media trying to gather some views.

    The new CBA says he can't get an extra year with a sign and trade.

    The only way the media could have gotten these leaks is if Howard's people let it be leaked, just like every other free agent. Anything that is inaccurate is usually shot down, they didn't shoot any of that down. Now it has festered into this. Just make a statement that you haven't decided and would like to take time. They have had 5 hours to refute ESPN's and USA Today's report instead of letting it grow out of control.

    Seriously, the guy needs to make up his damn mind. He's got more personalities than Ed Norton in Fight Club.

    Teams might have leaked some of the stuff as well - but it is on Howard not to let his people correct that. He let the whole world believe for 3 hours that he is going to Houston. Going back on that now would make him look like the most fragile minded player to ever play the game or rode a bus to a game...

    Dwight's agent actually came out soon after the USA Today news and stated that he hasn't decided yet!

    Keep it real Van Gundier. You know you are annoyed that they traded PPat for TRob and that TRob was worth a more than you ever imagined, a lot more. You hate that the Rockets actually got a lot more than they would have ever got trading PPat in some SNt this summer. And now you are all over this board wreaking negativity in possibilities that are more impossibilities with small chance of ever happening.

    Yet when everyone else knows there is almost no possibility of the things you suggest you refuse to stop with your stupid ideas.

    The thing is you seem to be a somewhat cerebral poster when you are acting like a moron. So you know what you are doing. And pretending like you are a victim here just make you vagina flap even wider. Just let it go. Admit defest, decide if you still want to be a Rocket fan anymore. Admit that you no longer care for the Rockets and post as a Rocket hater. You may get hate back but many on this board will at least give you credit for manning up and being honest.

    Until he signs, he is in negotiation mode and all bets are off. Morey could be asking something he doesn't want to do, like say, daily blowjobs for Mchale. If Morey thinks he is dead set on cuming to Houston, he might have the upper hand on getting it done.

    Los Angeles issued a statement saying that Howard informed Kupchak of his decision "to not return to the Lakers."

    BULL****!

    Los Angeles Lakers ‏@Lakers 8m AGO
    Statement from GM Mitch Kupchak: http://on.nba.com/14ZsLgV "We have been informed of Dwight's decision to not return to the Lakers."

    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 7m AGO
    It's Houston. Source close to Dwight Howard confirms that he'll join the Rockets. He'll inform the Lakers and make an official announcement.
