    I knew it. Dwight can already see his market value sucks and that maybe if he tries one more time he can salvage a max in 2017.

    GTFO Dwight.

    Better opt out or we're hiring Mike D'Antoni! :rolleyes:

    We tried to trade you at the deadline
    We stopped involving you in the offense
    GET THE CLUE — WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE ANYMORE!

    Opt in, opt out, whatever. Teams wanted him to opt in at the deadline.

    Okay, nvm, it's just some guy a lot like him. Ha.

    But thanks for the updates Cyber. God, I really hope the Rockets are just bluffing with D'Antoni.

    It's a red flag to all free agents as well

    CyberX - so are they really wanting to hire Datoni or just trolling Dwight?

    also who are the other finalist?

    Holy Crap. I never saw this coming, but serious question:

    Which is worse?

    2016-2017 Season with Dwight Howard Opting In?
    or
    2016-2017 Season with freaking Mike D'Antoni as our Defensive-Turn-It-Around Coach?



    Not a very easy question to answer immediately....

    Wow, they must really be sick of Dwight. Harden is being given the keys and the kingdom with the latest. No Dwight and no directive to play defense.

    So they're basically willing to hire a crap coach so they can avoid one more season of Dwight. Alright..

    Harden is the winner here

    Kills two birds with one stone

    Pringles hire means Dwight opting out and Harden continuing to play zero D and not be held accountable

    Well done Rockets!

    One more season of crap Dwight >>> multiple seasons with crap coach.

    As painful as that is.

    WE GOTTA STICK TOGETHER!
    WE GOTTA PUT OUR EGOS ASIDE!
    WE GOTTA KEEP OUR HEADS HELD HIGH!
    WE MAY HAVE LOST BUT I'M A CHAMPION!

    I'm almost willing to believe there's some master plan behind all of this, and all this BS is just smoke and mirrors. But then again, ugh..

    Yeh, heaven forbid they simply honor the contract they gave him and be men about it...

    If this whole D'antonio thing is an effort to get D12 to leave - then this organization has sunk to a new low....

    I said something to this effect last night. Bringing Mike in means there's no way Dwight opts in. However, are we just hiring this guy to make sure Dwight doesn't come back or is there an actual plan here?
