http://thehoopdoctors.com/online2/2012/08/dwight-howard-bought-20m-la-mansion/ ....Well! Looks like we finally know what to expect when he becomes a free agent.
nobody, even a guy with $$$, drops $20M on a property without at least a few weeks of prior househunting to assess the market. which means that dwight to the fakers was already a done deal since quite a while. rigged league.
In retrospect I wasted way too much time thinking Howard would be traded to houston. I should have known all along he was L.A. bound. There really is no point in watching NBA basketball until june......we already know the finals will be the lakers and heat the next 3 years.
Check? pssh... tru ballas pay straight cash in an expensive bag then tells the owner to keep the bag.
eh, it doesn't indicate that, it can take years to sell houses at that price and its not like you've got a huge selection, lol, and like lebron's place in miami, it can be done very quickly.
It's true it should take him a while in house-hunting, but that doesn't mean it's rigged. He knew the Lakers were interested in trading for him and he was in town, so he was probably looking in anticipation of a possible/probable trade. But, he didn't pull the trigger on the purchase until the deal was complete. If he got traded to Philly, maybe it'd take him an extra couple of weeks before buying something.
he was probly chilling in the drive way in his car and waited to hear that he's the lakers so he bought the house that day
I doubt the Lakers and the Heat will be in the Finals the next 3 years. The Lakers are old, and Dwayne Wade is showing signs or declining.
Howard just dropped $20 million on Cinderella's castle. Nothing's changed since he left Disney World for Disney Land.
Don't understanding why he didn't borrow. I'm sure he can find a ton of investment opportunities out there in LA that are better than a non-leverage extremely large residential real estate property...
Huh, what speculation? People actually think he might leave? Dwight will absolutely get a max contract, and LA can pay him more than anyone else can. It's not rocket science. Stupid article is stupid.
