    I for one don't agree with the "against the team" nonsense.

    My comparison to DaDa was just meaning back-in-tha-day when he would get so involved in the arguing instead of the actual topic and he became very repetitive.

    it's been an exhausting few days and a lot of people are frayed. That's all.

    Cheers.

    He is going to explain his position, nothing more than a closure- classy move. Royce White would not be traded tonight, if not for the Dwight announcement.

    That...and potentially gives Rox room to sign another FA outright...

    Kennedy isn't a legit source.

    Ramona Shelburne was on ESPN2 maybe 5-10 minutes ago and said she's been texting multiple people in the Lakers organization and none of them have heard anything. They have not been told he's picked the Rockets and they aren't sure it's over. She did say though that they thought they never really had a chance based on the meeting they had with him.

    Just a weird situation.

    TBH Carl Herrera is the only one who actually executed the reverse jinx properly. Everyone knows you can't mention anything about a reverse jinx in an actual reverse jinx. :rolleyes:

    there is a reason why you haven't gotten a call back, lakers!

    do you call a chick back after a one night stand? lakers get over yourselves. he is not that into you.

    Kennedy could be bleeding this out for more followers. I'm sure this Dwight stuff has given lots of these guys followers.

    I think it's done at this point, if Dwight were to just go back on it now he'll definitely never live this whole mess down.

    I know it's Kennedy...but I hate hearing it's not a done deal from anybody. Hopefully it's resolved soon.

    Ummm... answer is easy. He probably wants to personally tell Lakers, which is the right thing to do. Why let his team find out officially from a media message? I would respect him tons if he chose to tell them face to face. We are just feeling some angst because we are fans.

    Maybe, because he isn't satisfied with the offers he is getting. I think he is trying to use the Rockets as leverage.

    UHHHH, that's because he's flying back there to LA LA land to break the news personally that he won't be coming back.
