Grantland.com: Dwight's flight and what we learned from free agency so far

Dwight Howard has taken his farts to Houston, finally, and may God have mercy on all our souls.

 

I love that we are annoying. Working harder than any other team in the league.

 

I think the CBA has already done some damage in the fact that we have James Harden. And I am sure it will continue to do so as teams over the tax get hit hard without great playoff success (Nets/Knicks?).

 

Thanks, Carl! I've been waiting for a grantland piece to come out about this!

 

That's a point the article makes. So far the only teams that felt the sting of the new CBA enough to let it impact their decision making were the Thunder and the Grizzlies.

 

Why are they still harping on Dwight that he "finally" made a decision? He handled the process well and didn't flip flop in his decision. We know all the indecisiveness was produced by BSPN and they're still pushing this. It's getting old.

 

Great article.

But I almost didn't read it because of the amateurish "farts" joke at the start. Left me wondering about the tone of the rest of the article. I think Zach Lowe does a diservice with that.

Though, I did laugh at the more understated snarky "Hawks are hawking and Bucks are bucking" comment.

 

This one's more entertaining: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-t.../nba-free-agency-shootaround-independence-day



"You're thinking about going to Houston? Aye! Arggh! I be from Houston, matey." LOL

 

Good read, and he's right on the effect so far of the CBA. I wonder if that's how it will continue, and if that was the league's intent all along.

 

That's the guy from Walking Dead right?

 

hahaha

 

“It was on the Fourth of July,” Howard said. “That’s when I felt it was Houston. I was in Colorado. It seemed like every person that I met was from Houston. It was just so ironic. I’d walk around. Someone would ask for a picture. They’d give me a business card and it would say Houston on it. I was like, ‘Is everybody in Colorado from Houston right now?’ It was unbelievable. … I was like, ‘You know what, this has to be from God.’ You pray for things to happen. You pray for signs, for God to show you things. It just seemed like, this was it.”

 

I am not getting the fart stuff. Is there some sort of joke I am not getting? Or is it just a really terrible joke?

 

What is all this Dwight Howard farting business about? I am assuming I missed something.

 

Oh, thanks! I knew we picked up the league's most prolific rebounder - but I had no idea he was also the league's most prolific farter.

 

LoL@ ridiculous Laker fans that are saying Chris Kaman is better that Dwight

 

Center position is so easy....even a caveman can do it. ;-)
