Looks like Woj and Yahoo are sticking to their story that Howard to the Rockets is all but done deal on their NBA page. That's a good sign, methinks.

What's funny is that the story hasn't changed since cyberx informed us that Dwight was basically leaning toward the Rockets. Dwight was never going to resign in LA. I don't know what ESPN is doing right now -- jacking the last bit of nut out of this story, I guess -- but Howard is pretty clearly going to be playing in Houston come November. EDIT:
