    This came out of nowhere (this season at least). Can an insider please post the article? I know ESPN misleads every one of their insider articles, but this sounds pretty good for Rocket fans.

    I think there is already a thread about this.. but here is the post...

    Free Agency

    Will McDyess Opt For Houston?
    Jun 28 - Antonio McDyess hasn't officially picked up his option for the $6.3 million he will make next season -- but you have to believe he will. The Pistons have already indicated that they would sit down and try to work out an extension with McDyess, starting at that $6.3 million.

    Now, here's something to think about. McDyess lives in Houston. Houston needs frontcourt help. Houston would probably love to offer McDyess their mid-level exception, if he opted out. If McDyess thinks the Pistons will lose his buddy Chauncey Billups to free agency, the Houston option might become more attractive. The thing is, though, time is running out. McDyess has to make his decision by the close of business Friday. -- Detroit News

    # The Pistons still have no definitive news from forward Antonio McDyess or his agent, Andy Miller. But the team expects word to come sometime before the draft that the former All-Star will pick up his option. -- Detroit Free Press

    Hell, everyone lives in Houston, although I wish I did...

    anywho, that would be great if it did happen, but time is a ticking...
