    If this is true, then it would stand to reason that the "extra 30 million" isn't a factor for him, either.

    Never been to LA, but couldn't imagine wanting to live there.

    Then again, I can't imagine wanting to live in a major city. If I were to move to Houston, I wouldn't really live in Houston.

    No offense, but if you're going to call people idiots please learn the difference between "you're" and "your".

    Besides that. I agree with your comment.

    Yes I know that. I was referring to the playing Miami part.

    It would've made sense when Howard was trying to get out of Orlando, not now.

    The tension is beyond palpable as you can cut it with the proverbial knife. I know you can feel everyone holding their collective breath ready to explode..one way or another.

    Remember...there was always going to be a lot of talk during this period ...as each team met with him following us...esp. today. Most of these individual, periodic tweets can be written off.....

    Just buck up. No need to go off half cocked at every twist and turn. Yes, it can be gut wrenching.....

    But, we are dealing from a position of strength.....Kings or even Aces..It's possible we could be outdrawn.

    Our rockets were the leaders going in and MOST LIKELY nothing anyone can say will change that.
    The only thing is..we're dealing with a big kid who has the ability to change his mind quicker than Liz Taylor does husbands.

    We're ALL IN...It probably IS Dwight or bust.....as far as winning titles in the near future. We have a great organization, but we need this...so much riding on it.

    That said, HANG TOUGH! We are the Houston Rockets...Let's act like it!

    Corrected myself a couple posts down. One of those moments where you realize it as soon as you press submit reply!

    Well that is just absurd. It's the same as saying "I'm told that money is a non-factor in Dwight's decision". :rolleyes:

    Dude, just stop. Have you even been to LA?

    You can make the argument Houston over LA for basketball reasons.

    But for lifestyle reasons, the two cities simply do not compare. LA is sunny, 80 degrees year-round, with beaches, mountains, Beverly Hills, Sunset, Big Bear, etc. Houston offers strip malls, strip joints, and humidity.

    Hopefully Dwight's decision comes down to which team gives him the best chance to win.

    I THought this clown had stated that his sources state that Dwight will
    stay in LA... Why the hell is he now saying that the Tax issue is not an issue on Dwights decision... (Which again according to him already made up his mind) This guy has to be drunk

    I've been everywhere I hate la.

    NYC trumps all then San Fran and San Diego over la.

    If I had limitless wealth maybe I'd enjoy la more. But most of the city is a big dump as the above poster said. Worst roads and traffic in the us. The government of the state is the worst...so many annoyances...the city is terribly managed.

    Outside of the night life, weather and the beach there is nothing better about la over Houston.

    I would just live in Houston and have a place in Cali in off season

    If Dwight goes back to L.A. then he becomes Chris Bosh 2.0 without the rings.

    This would be devastating honestly, after all the circles we've been through with Howard.

    Gee Chris, then you are a freaking moron, and so are the people 'telling' you that.. lol

    On the other hand, that also would mean that moeny is NO factor in his decision, which is better for Houston anyway.

    Thanks Chris!
