    Pretty much. Howard isn't a Rocket yet, and theoretically he could change his mind and stay with the Lakers right now. Just have to wait until midnight on Wednesday.

    Yeah I'm starting to warm up to Stephen A. But that girl that have on there now Cari is such a Lakers homer and her sports knowledge is questionable. I like the girl they had before her, plus her not liking the Lakers was a plus

    I hope the Rockets can bring in CD to work with Howard on the hook-shot which he taught Yao and Hakeem.

    Yeah, i dont really like Cari. She kinda looks like a man. She seems like one of those girls that says she likes sports but couldnt name you a player on the lakers outside of Kobe.

    They need to bring on that girl that was the host last thursday and friday. She's hot.

    Flat out, Stephen A Smith is horrible. BUT, credit to him, he is doing a great job on the Dwight Howard stuff over the last few days. Doing a good job of cutting through the BS and laying it flat out. Very refreshing.

    Dwight leaning towards Houston before the season had ended confirms DocRocket's reports.

    Dallas never a viable option basically rips Chris Broussard's and to a lesser degree Marc Stein's reports.

    Dear God! I wish you guys could hear all of the "spin" going on up here in Dallas after Howard rejected Mark Cuban's line of BS. All of the talking heads who were lining up to kiss Howard's behind are now trashing him to high heaven. The hypocrisy is so funny it defies belief. I am loving the fact that Mark "Shark Tank" Cuban just got schooled by Daryl Morey - the same Daryl Morey who up here, they were dismissing and an insignificant little "stat" nerd just days ago.

    Thanks for the Dallas report. Does not surprise me.

    Cuban, still a good owner, but his arrogance has cost him.

    Here's a poorly written hater article published in the esteemed Bellville News Democrat, which proudly serves Southwestern Illinois. It's hard to argue with anything he says, because he makes no actual arguments. He merely states that he thinks multiple other teams are better, and that's that. Damn, I wish I were a senior sports editor and could just do crap like that.

    Highlights include:

    - Dwight doesn't pass very well, and as such won't help the offense. Only thing Howard can contribute is possibly outrunning other big men.

    - Dwight and Harden are superstars but they're "weird." Dwight is weird because he has rubbed some the wrong way and Harden is weird because he's only been a superstar for one year.

    - Also, Harden might not actually be very good. He probably is. But maybe he's not!

    - Kobe is a better distributer than Harden, so he would be a better teammate for Dwight.

    - Asik is angry and the Rockets struck out on Josh Smith so they are now in a weird position with Asik.

    - The Rockets are the 9th best team in the league - because he says so.

    - Rockets need a 3rd superstar because their roster isn't as good as the top 8 teams in the league.

    Here's the article:

    New-look Rockets aren't legit contenders

    ESPN Headline: Howard has knee surgery out 6-8 weeks

    Cursing commences as page loads. Ryan Howard.

    Well played ESPN. Well played.

    You guys want a real funny listen get a stream of any LA radio out here. Just horrible.

    They have basically said the Lakers are right where they started with Howard since they signed Kaman and that they didn't want Howard back...that and 100 different things.
